In 1992, the
Coalition dropped their first album, It Don't
Stop; it was an underground release and only sold in a
few stores. The second album, South Coast Flavor,
was put out in the summer of 1995; it was their
first album with statewide distribution. While promoting the second
album, S.C.C. ran into MC Nero.
During the same year, MC Nero's hit, "Gotta
Lotta Respect", had sold over 40,000
copies. The S.C.C. started to do a few concerts on
Nero's local tour and eventually collaborate with
him in the studio. In 1999, the Coalition
completed their third release, Southern Slang: The EP,
under their own label, Dirty South Productions.
Due to a few uncleared samples, the album was cut 3 tracks short and
put out as an EP instead. The CD featured
Nero, Someone Called Heno and Chaotic
(formally known as LG). In 2000,
Dirty South Productions hosted over 20
live shows in the Louisiana and Mississippi
area. In the Spring of
2001, the S.C.C. released their fourth CD,
Southern Slang: The Album. The
Album contained 18 tracks including two remixes from
the previous EP. Although Chaotic
produced 11 of the 18 tracks, five different producers were used in
order to mix a variety of styles. The other four producers were:
Emperah Nero, Clever, Brent Dixon and Troy
Thomas. Guest appearances included: C-Loc, Emperah
Nero, T-Bo, Mike da Hustla, Heno, Mookie Black, Lil
Witness and Chaotic; LaTangela and
Delvin provided vocals. During the Fall of 2001,
Dirty South Productions used their profits from
Southern Slang to open up their own
recording facility, Head Shots Studio.
In 2002, the South Coast Coalition
released their fifth album, Third World: The
Compilation. The Compilation
featured Soulja Slim, Lil Boosie, Max Minelli, T-Bo,
Beelow, Thug Addict, Sam I Am, Mookie, Emperah Nero, J-Von,
X-Conn, Lil Witness, Mike da Hustla, Military Ridahz, Mistress
and more. Producers included Chaotic, Clever, Kojack, AV,
John Bass, Chris Bressler, Nero, Y.T. and J.
Paternostro. Third World received
a regional distribution deal (Texas to
Florida) and was a top seller throughout Louisiana
and Mississippi. It received very good reviews in
many top rap magazines and rap web sites. In 2002,
T-Bo and S.C.C. also released
Baton Rouge: The Mix CD.

In 2003, the
S.C.C. released their sixth album, Third World:

Paul of Youngbloodz, Young Bleed, Lil Boosie, Max Minelli, T-Bo,

Southern beats tend to hit ALOT harder than
anywhere else. "We don't call it RAP no more, we
call it TRUNK MUSIC!"
