On Episode 12 of The Original OGs, get ready to vibe as OG Mr. Rick chops it up with Crucial Conflict’s own Coldhard! Straight outta Chicago, Crucial Conflict is a legendary hip hop crew featuring Wondosas "Kilo" Martin, Ralph "Wildstyle" Leverston, Corey "Coldhard" Johnson, and Marrico "Never" King. You know them for their iconic, smoke-filled 1996 anthem “Hay”—a true hip-hop classic! Crucial Conflict made their entrance with the seven-track EP Crucial Times, dropping in 1993 on TCR&R Productions. The OG lineup—Kilo, Wildstyle, Lil Jeno, and Smooth Lil T—set the stage, but when Coldhard and Never jumped in, the energy leveled up. By 1996, they locked in a deal with Universal and unleashed their debut album, The Final Tic. With bangers like "Hay" and "Ride the Rodeo," plus gold certification from the RIAA, these Chi-Town legends put Midwest hip hop on the map!
