The 2 Live Crew is an American hip-hop group who caused considerable controversy with the sexual themes in their work, particularly on their 1989 album, As Nasty As They Wanna Be. The 2 Live Crew, although seen as a main fixture in the Miami hip-hop scene, actually got their start in California & was created by Mr. Mixx with fellow rapper Fresh Kid Ice. Brother Marquis joined the group in Miami.
