early days
Producer deto-22 and original members Ork, and Mayo started the group in 1994 while attending Terryville High School in Terryville, CT. Mayo's departure to college left deto-22 and Ork looking for a third member, which they found in a talented (then a sophmore in Terryville High School) Mr. King. While receiving some local admiration, the group rarely preformed but recorded feverishly which resulted in have a song called "Detrimental" receive some airplay on a University of Connecticut (UCONN) college radio station late night hip-hop show.

New York
In June of 1996, deto-22 moved to New York City to attend The Institute of Audio Research.
