In the early 90's DJ Tony Touch started putting in his work down on the mixtapes, in NYC. D-Stroy who walked into a record store where Tony Touch had worked, was fascinated to how skilled Tony Touch was on the 1 & 2's. The 2 would go on to begin their journey partners. As Tony Touch would record his mixtapes, he'd ask D-Stroy to do the introductions of the mixtape. Soon Tony would get booked at clubs and teenage D-Stroy would follow as the M.C., hyping up the crowd.
The time would come when they would want to make original music together, as they both were aspiring to put out an album. As Touch and D-Stroys reputation grew locally, D-Stroy would travel as a hypeman on tour with O.C. (Times Up) and Tony Touch would continue DJ’ing the hostest clubs. In 1994 they put down several songs and started to shop their demo. Their record label meetings were met with the stereotypical, "Puerto Rican, like Fat Joe". Till they met with a label that looked past the "Latin Thing" and attempted to sign them for 10 albums.
