Da Council - May 2008 - Hip-Hop

Listen: Tipsy
THA Council, are: “Gutta”, “Short Fuze” & Blanco

All originally from the Bronx, NY. Relocated to Rockland County NY at
a very young age and attended Spring Valley High School.
Tha Council was formed in 1999 after the members broke away from
another group called Fort Knox. It was clear that the sound and style of
Gutta, Fuze and Blanco were compatible but did not fit with the others
they were working with at the time.

As a teenager, Gutta met Blanco and Fuze through a mutual friend and
the three eventually formed the group now known as “Tha Council”.
Tha Council officially became a Hip Hop Group in 1999 when they
signed with Big Roy of Onyx Management Services who is now the
CEO of HyDra Management Services.

After completion of the production schedule for their first CD, The Bronx
is Back, Gutta was incarcerated in spite of the fact that the only
evidence against him was circumstantial. However, in spite of this
unfortunate injustice, Tha Council’s CD was released on schedule. The
tracks were hot and the lyrics were angry, typical of street underground
rap.

Tha Council went on to release their second project titled “Gutta’sRevenge”. This CD demonstrated how Tha Council would even thescore on CD. Gutta put an intro on a track that was recorded via telephone while in a state penitentiary. Tha Council are featured on theMix Tape CD created for the book “Dirty Game” by Essence Best Selling Award Winner, Shannon Holmes. Tha Council are currentlyworking on the release of their 3rd CD with some serious interest from the music industry.

With performances under their belt all over the NYC Tri State areaincluding, The China Club, The Copacabana, The Latin Quarter, SOB’sBabalu’s, Mystique, Café Lou’s, Don Hills Concert Hall, and The Apollo,Tha Council are ready to take the industry by storm. Their goal is to secure a distribution deal which will allow them to record and showcase their lyrical skills and eventually produce other artists for HyDra Management Services.
