Biography

Originally out of Springfield, MA, where founding members Tableek and Roddy Rod grew up, Maspyke signed to Elektra in 1993, after the label heard the group's three-song demo. Nothing ever came from that deal, so the pair of MCs added producer Hanif "H-Bomb" Jamiyl to Maspyke and began to work with independent studios instead. In 2003 The Blackout, a re-release of a 1998 album originally sold only at shows, came out on ABB Records, and in 2005 Maspyke issued Static with their own label, Bukarance Records.
