L-Chedda is one of the original rappers from Sunnydale, one of San Francisco’s most notorious projects. He saw the rise of hip-hop in the city, as well as the turf wars and the crack epidemic. Cheddar flipped street money to co-found Butt Naked Records and put out groups from his hood like Down N Dirty Hustlas and Ghetto Soldiers. He caught an out-of-state case in 2006 which resulted in a 6-year prison sentence. Since coming home, Chedda has focused on legitimate careers, pushing his music catalogue, and mentoring the new generation of youth in Sunnydale.

Cycle has been putting it down in the graffiti world from Connecticut, New York, Washington DC, San Francisco, and back. He got into the skating culture of the 80's before entering the graffiti scene of the tristate area. From there, Cycle's studies as an art student took him to different cities and he continued painting wherever he went. Eventually returning to NYC, he now focuses on his art career but still maintains a passion for his graffiti roots.
