Too Much Phunk Posse

The Too Much Phunk Posse is an American hip-hop group formed by MC Zappa. The group currently consists of rappers MC Zappa, J.D. Makaveli, and UG.

Beginnings
MC Zappa began working with Hawaiian MC/producer J.D. Makaveli (at that time known as "J.D. Ryda") in mid-to-late 2017. He also formed friendships with the Toronto MC N0va as well as the Chicago MC UG (short for Ultimate Gift) shortly after. However, the group did not officially form until the conception of "Level Up (The Ill Cypher)".

Name Origin
The group's name is derived from the phrase "too much phunk!", an exclamation frequently used by MC Zappa to describe exceptional music.

MC Zappa
Elyjah McKoy, a.k.a. MC Zappa, is the founder of the group, and the main engineer behind the group's sound. He is from Atlanta, Georgia.

J.D. Makaveli
Josh Robison, a.k.a. J.D. Makaveli (formerly known as "J.D. Ryda"), is one of the founding members of the Too Much Phunk Posse. He has worked with MC Zappa for the longest out of all the members. J.D. Makaveli is from Kona, Hawaii. As a solo artist, his projects tend to be in a G-Funk style heavily influenced by Dr. Dre, N.W.A., Snoop Dogg, G Perico, etc. However, he has shown himself to be skilled with creating Bit-Hop tracks.

N0va


Shawn Nova, a.k.a. N0va, was a former member of the Too Much Phunk Posse. He is from Toronto, Canada (which he affectionately refers to as "The Six"). He is known as "The Man With The Golden Flow". As a solo artist, he possesses a unique, soulful style, often singing out raw emotion over tenderly crafted, soulful beats.

UG
Jacob Riley, a.k.a. UG (short for "Ultimate Gift"), is one of the founding members of the Too Much Phunk Posse. He is from Chicago, Illinois. He is notable for his versatility and ability to flow over old-school hip-hop instrumentals as well as more modern beats. As a solo artist, his work tends to have a more "modern" slant (e.g. triplet flows, 808 beats, half-sung vocals, etc.)
