History

According to the band's lore, Tha Grimm Teachaz was signed to Jive Records in the early 1990s.[3] However, the trio got shelved shortly after an encounter with Shaq Fu at the Jive showcase in 1993,[4] leaving Da End Iz Near unreleased.[5]

In 2010, Kenny Dennis' little brother Tanya rediscovered two albums, There's a Situation on the Homefront and Da End Iz Near, while cleaning out his garage.[5]

There's a Situation on the Homefront, an album recorded in 1993, was released on Breakfast Records in 2010.[6] It features guest appearances from Son Doobie of Funkdoobiest, among others.[7]
