2 Skinnee J's (sometimes spelled Two or Too Skinnee J's) came out of Brooklyn in 1991 jamming hip hop and rap rock into the same pair of taped-up glasses, the kind of act that got filed under nerdcore. Special J and Rabbi J-Slim traded vocals over Joey Viturbo's guitar, Sammy B's bass, DJ Casper's keyboards and Andy Action's drums, and from there the roster became a revolving cast of cartoon aliases, with Eddie Eyeball, Stevie Spice and J Guevara among the names that stuck.
Their Capricorn album, ¡$uper! Mercado, arrived in 1998 carrying "Riot Nrrrd", a title that tells you exactly whose side they were on. Volumizer followed on Volcano and Sexy Karate on Dolphins vs. Unicorns: 3 studio albums and 2 EPs in all, plus a pile of demos, before the band called it quits in 2003. It didn't quite take. They kept coming back to the road for reunion runs: 2005, then 2008, 2010 and 2012.
