Philly legends Da Youngstas—Taji “T.M.” Goodman and Tarik “Reek Geez” Dawson—sit down with AllHipHop's @ChuckCreekmur to talk origins on Pop Art Records, sparring with other kid groups like Another Bad Creation /Kriss Kross/Illegal, the convention era where Meth handed them early “Protect Ya Neck” tapes, Treach writing their classic collab "Crews Pop," DJ Premier flipping their “Pass the Mic” into Gang Starr’s “Mass Appeal,” and more. The crew's Taji lived with Mobb Deep's and they have the craziest Muhammad Ali story. Da Youngstas have a story to tell and they plan to get their respect by any means, even if it means going on without Quran, the youngest member. Will he return?
