History

Their self-titled debut album Death Threat went gold^{[citation needed]} and produced the hit "Gusto Kong Bumaet (Pero 'Di Ko Magawa)" (in English: "I Want to Become Good (But I Cannot)") which told tales of the daily lives of the young impoverished Filipino youth growing up in the city streets and slum areas.

Their second album, Death Threat: Wanted became even bigger, passing the double platinum mark^{[citation needed]} and producing the hit single "Ilibing ng Buhay (Ang Mga Sosyal)" (in English: "Bury (The Elitists) Alive") with Pooch of Ghetto Doggs.

Beware left the Philippines after the release of the album, and the group became the duo of Hi-Jakkk and Gloc-9, and released the third album Kings of da Undaground in 1997. The album received 4× Platinum Certificate Award despite of having no mainstream promotion and by only word of mouth in the streets.^{[citation needed]} Beware then returned to the Philippines in 1998 to release the album Death Threat: The Return that was recorded in Sactown, California.^{[citation needed]}

Gerald "Genezide" Acelajado became a born-again pastor.[1]

Lawrence "O-Dogg" Panganiban was an RTC employee. In 2014, he was shot dead in Muntinlupa.[2]
