La Coka Nostra

La Coka Nostra is an American hip-hop supergroup whose genesis started in 2004. That year, hip-hop artist Daniel O'Connor ([a=Danny Boy O'Connor]) was mentoring two young artists George Carroll ([a=Slaine]) and John Faster ([a=Big Left]). He brought them to meet Leor Diamant ([a=Dj Lethal]) his DJ from his former group [a=House of Pain]. They decided to make a group, whose name came about when O'Connor teased the other members with that nickname after they had a night out. They started releasing music on MySpace, and went viral. Eventually, it was felt that there was a void and experienced rapper William Braunstein ([a=Ill Bill]) was asked to join. Eventually, former House of Pain colleague Erik Schrody ([a=Everlast]), showed interest to join. By 2008, the group consisted of O'Connor, Carroll, Diamant, Braunstein, and Schrody (who left sometime after the first album was released). Their debut album [i]A Brand You Can Trust[/i] was released on July 14, 2009, and it was appreciated by many for its raw sound that some felt missing from hip-hop at the time. In 2012, came their second album, [i]Masters of the Dark Arts[/i], which reached 176 on Billboard Top Current Albums, 40 on Independent Albums, and 31 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Their third album [i]To Thine Own Self Be True[/i] was released in 2016. The album reached 38 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Members: Danny Boy O'Connor, Erik Schrody, Leor Dimant, William Braunstein, George Carroll, and John Faster
