Revision as of 07:07, 14 April 2007
La Coka Nostra (or short LCN) is an American hiphop supergroup, comprised mainly of all former members of House of Pain, one former member of Non Phixion and various other MCs and producers.
The groups's name is derived from the notorious criminal organization (La) Cosa Nostra, which means "This Thing Of Ours", with the Italian word Cosa ( "thing" meaning "business") being replaced by the Spanish word Coka which stands for Cocaine. Slaine has noted the idea for the name was to incorporate some slang with the gangster theme, so the name would mean "This Dope Thing Of Ours", with "dope" being slang for something cool, and not actual drugs.
Although La Coka Nostra have yet to release an offical single or album, the posting of their songs via their MySpace page generated a huge fan base, becoming a minor internet phenomenon. The group's debut album and a documentary DVD are currently in production and to be released in 2007.
In recent interviews, Everlast has stated that his and Ill Bill's new solo albums will be both released before any LCN material. He has also hinted that the group may not be interested in signing with a major label and is, instead, trying to get a distribution deal for the album.
