[edit] Biography
Formed in 2002, the group first enjoyed mainstream success with their smash hit "Itsumo" which propelled their second album entitled Mobbstarr to hip-hop royalty status. Their first album Mobb Music which was released exclusively in Cebu made enough noise for them to be noticed by industry giants like Warner Music . Songs like The Scenario and Itsumo impressed them so much that they decided to offer a distribution deal for Dice and K9/Mobbstarr’s second album to be distributed nationwide and in some parts of Asia as well. The group packed their bags and headed off to Manila to start promoting and touring. Even nominated for 2004 MTV Asia awards for Favorite Group which was held in Indonesia. Itsumo became a household name as it stayed in the radio charts for weeks and weeks. It was even one of the most downloaded ringtones in 2003 - 2004 as it resonated all throughout the year with its catchy bass-line and infectious hook. They bagged awards for 2003 Song of The Year in Davao and Cebu, Best Rap Group in the 1st and 2nd Annual Hip-hop Awards in 2005 and 2006 and counting.
