Bad Ronald

Named after an obscure made-for-TV-movie from 1974, the New York City quartet Bad Ronald fits in well with early 21st century crop of goofy rap-popsters as the Bloodhound Gang. Comprised of three MCs and a DJ (which includes Doug Ray, White Owl, Kaz Gamble, and DJ Deetlax), the group came together in the late '90s when all its members were working the NYC DJ circuit -- and sharing a common vision of wanting to form a band that combined rap, pop, rock, and sophomoric humor. September 11th, 2001 saw the release of Bad Ronald's self-titled debut on the Reprise label.
