The sharply dressed Son of Bazerk and his equally dapper cohorts -- Cassandra (aka MC Halfpint), Almighty Jahwell, Daddy Rawe, and Sandman, collectively dubbed No Self Control -- delivered the remarkably explosive Bazerk Bazerk Bazerk for MCA in 1991. Produced by the Bomb Squad and boasting the turntable skills of Public Enemy's Terminator X, the album featured the dizzying James Brown-inspired "Change the Style," one of the best singles released during rap's golden age. Two other singles -- "Bang (Get Down, Get Down)" and "What Could Be Better Bitch" -- didn't catch on as well as "Change the Style," but the album as a whole stands proud next to the Bomb Squad's other classic productions.
