Godchilla
A rap foursome from Willingboro, NJ that was based in Philadelphia, Pa. The group was founded by childhood friends Rapper/Producer Daniel Glogower (MC Toe-To-Toe) and Rapper Ed Steinmetz (MC Eazy E, The Ponderous Bulk). The duo soon brought in Rapper Chris Klitshe (MC Chilly Z) and DJ Glen Swantak (GG Sound) to complete the outfit. Godchilla was at times joined in the studio by DJ Phlash (Kevin Andrews). Formed in 1985, the group was signed to Ruffhouse Records in 1987 after coming to the attention of famous Hip-Hop producer and Ruffhouse co-founder Joe "the Butcher" Nicolo. Considered by some to be ahead of their times, Godchilla, sadly, produced a very small selection of studio tracks. Industry politics and Ruffhouse's growing pains led to Glogower leaving the group at the end of 1989 for projects in Asia and Europe. He eventually returned to Philadelphia and graduated from the University of Pennsyvania. The remaining members stayed together for another 18 months, but the void in leadership created by the loss of Glogower proved too much for GodChilla to overcome. The band was officially dissolved by 1991.
