History


In 1998, the members of Terror Squad debuted as a group on Fat Joe's album Don Cartagena. Terror Squad, in its debut album Terror Squad: The Album, consisted of rappers Fat Joe, Big Pun, Cuban Link, Prospect, Armageddon, and Triple Seis.[2]

As the group was on hiatus following Pun's death, most of its former members fell into obscurity, with Fat Joe having the most successful solo career among all the former members.[1] The group reunited and released their second album, True Story, in 2004. It included the summer club hit "Lean Back", produced by Scott Storch, which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and 24 in the UK. A remix to "Lean Back" featured Lil Jon, Mase and Eminem was released on Fat Joe's 2005 album All or Nothing. Although the album failed to spawn other hit singles, Fat Joe and Remy, who contributed the vocals to "Lean Back", went on to release high-selling solo albums in 2006.[1] Fat Joe commented in a 2006 interview that Armageddon and Prospect had become lazy.

Terror Squad signed to Koch Records that next year.[3] Apart from the three new members, DJ Khaled and Cool & Dre are retained as regular crew along with Tony Sunshine.[4][5] Tony Sunshine has since left Terror Squad to pursue a solo career.[citation needed] Furthermore, Terror Squad has since recruited affiliates from Texas, Florida, California, the Middle East, and Africa.[citation needed]
