Biography

Making their first appearance on Key-Kool & Rhettmatic's 1995 album, Kozmonautz, on the song "Visionaries (Stop Actin' Scary)," Writer's Block, made up of MCs Lord Zen and Dannu, soon joined the group, also called the Visionaries, that emerged from that session. They helped make 1998's Galleries before they set about working on their first single as a duo, Basically, which came out the following year. In 2000 another Writer's Block single, Poetry Explains, hit shelves, as well as another Visionaries record, Sophomore Jinx. In 2001 yet another single, No More No Less, arrived, and by this time Zen and Dannu had established a loyal fan base in the underground rap scene in L.A. However, it wasn't until 2004 that their first album, En Route, which contained nearly all their previously released A-sides and B-sides, was released on Up Above, with Next Stop coming out the following year.
