Phatty McGee and MC Rentz, both natives to the Twin Cities and Northern Suburbs are members of the hip-hop group Lyrical Pedestrianz, which was formed in 2003. Professor Fresh was born and raised in Mankato, MN, formed the group Psychosynthetik in 1999 and carries a solo career himself. These individuals are no rookies to the underground hip-hop scene either. Ruthless is Professor Fresh, Phatty McGee and M.C.

Take the beauty that is hip-hop mixed with suburban living and free thinking. Take the colors of the world and mix them together, the result is that of black. Most people would assume the black bandana to be gang related, however, the black rag is different, in that, it represents unity. With no compassion or pity for what music has become in modern times, Ruthless takes hip-hop into their own hands and creates an obscure sculpture, forming a Minnesota based Mid-West sound dubbed hybrid hip-hop.Ģ004 marked the year when Ruthless would be born debuting and performing shows with brand new material and honing their own image of representing the black bandana. Bring in the unique and original hip-hop that is Ruthless. It's time for a change and that time is now.

All three were featured on her self-titled debut album, released in Europe in 1995 and America the following year (where it failed to cause nearly as much of a stir).

Seeking more opportunities, she left Denmark and met Spagna producer Larry Pignagnoli, with whom she began recording under the name Whigfield (a tribute to her piano teacher of the same name). Finding her initial career of modeling horribly dull, she returned to her first love of music, and began performing with her brother's band.
