THA DOSE R&B AND HIP HOP HAS INFLUENCED US BEFORE THA DOSE WAS CREATED. WE GREW UP WITH MUSIC THAT IS NOW COSIDERED OLD SCHOOL, THAT WAS THE SOUND THAT WAS COMING OUT THA BOX WHILE OUR CREW WAS POPPIN AND BREAKING ALL OVER TOWN. SLOWLY BREAK- DANCING FADED OUT, BUT THE MUSIC STAYED IN OUR LIVES. THE YEAR WAS 1991 AND WE STARTED WORKING WITH BMI ANOTHER 209 UNDERGROUND CREW. THE COLAB. BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS BROUGHT OUT A NEW SOUND WITH UNLIMITED STYLES. DOING LOCAL SHOWS THOUGHOUT CALI. OPENING SHOWS FOR ACTS LIKE GEMINI, NB RIDAZ, SAM RAW, AND PROJECT AFFILIATED. TIME WENT BY AND NAMES CHANGED FROM BMI TO E.Y.T TO TRE FUNK TO FUNKY DOSE TO FINALLY FORMULATING THA DOSE , A MIXTURE OF RAP, R&B, AND HIP HOP WITH A TOUCH OF OLD SCHOOL MUSIC.
