Revision as of 13:41, 26 July 2007
La Coka Nostra (or short LCN) is an American hiphop supergroup, comprised mainly of all former members of House of Pain, one former member of Non Phixion and various other MCs and producers.
The group's name is derived from the notorious criminal organization (La) Cosa Nostra, which means "Our Thing", with the Italian word Cosa ( "thing" meaning "business") being replaced by the Spanish word Coka which stands for Cocaine. Slaine has noted the idea for the name was to incorporate some slang with the gangster theme, so the name would mean "This Dope Thing Of Ours", with "dope" being slang for something cool, and not actual drugs[1].
Without having an official single release, the posting of their songs via their MySpace page generated a huge fan base, becoming a minor internet phenomenon: as of June 2007, they have more than 48,500 fans added as "friends" on the myspace network.
The group's debut album "A Brand You Can Trust" (with DVD) is now set to be released in early 2008.
