The underground hip-hop group Missin' Linx was led by Al Tariq (formerly the Beatnuts' Fashion) and also included Black Attack, and Problemz among it's core ranks. Their debut single M.I.A. produced by Vic with the B-Side Lock'd, produced by Necro became an instant hit in the Hip Hop scene of the 90s. Using as sample from David McCallum called "The Edge" the song captured the ears of many fans and producers. Everyone has heard Dr. Dre's 2001, even if you aren't a fan of rap music and the single "Next Episode" which was one of the most iconic songs of it's decade. Before Dr. Dre released his version of the sample, another artist beat him to the punch. M.I.A. released by "Missin Linx" in 1998, almost a full year before Dr. Dre released his sample of the beat. The co-producer of the track, Mel Man frequently visited the Fat Beats LA store when the Missin Linx song was circulating. The popular single is now available on seven inch for a limited time paying homage to the classic Hip Hop scene of the nineties.
