"The band M.O.P. stands for Mash-Out Posse, and they are a well-known American hardcore hip-hop duo that emphasizes hostility and street-smart attitudes. They have maintained a very strong underground following, and they also dabbled with mainstream success in the early 2000s, mostly from their songs ""Ante Up"" and ""Cold As Ice."" The duo is comprised of Lil' Fame and Billy Danzenie, and they came to prominence with their debut single called ""How About Some Hardcore."" The release of their first single also, of course, led to their debut album called To the Death, which was released in Spring 1994. To the Death brings forth a certain amount of energy and craziness on this album which deals with issues like guns, thugs and death. Some of the hit songs that emerged off the album include ""Top of the Line,"" ""This is Your Brain"" and ""Blue Steel.""For fans of rap music, M.O.P. is one of those bands that remains tough and unapologetic. They are not shy about expressing themselves or demonstrating their thuggish and violent attitudes. In fact, with every release they have built upon their strengths in that area and have continued to appeal to a wide variety of people not only in the U.S. but also on a global scale.M.O.P. followed up their initial successes with the album Firing Squad, which once again features a raw and somewhat funky sound and style in songs like ""Anticipation"" and ""Firing Squad."" They later followed with Family 4 Life, which hit the shelves in March of 1998, and then two years after that, Warriorz came along and brought an element of darkness to their music, which was most evident in tracks like ""Ante Up"" and ""Calm Down."" Don't miss out on their rough and raw hardcore sound."
