PSC or Pimp Squad Click (stylized as P$C or Pimp $quad Click), is an American hip hop group from Bankhead, Atlanta, Georgia. Formed in 2001, the group was originally composed of six members: southern rappers Big Kuntry King, Mac Boney, C-Rod, AK, Young Dro, and T.I. In 2002, the group began amassing several self-released mixtapes, namely their In da Streets series, which garnered them local recognition. PSC released their debut studio album 25 to Life, in 2005, under Grand Hustle Records and Atlantic Records.
Key Information
History
[edit]The group was formed in 2001[1] by T.I., alongside his longtime friends and fellow Atlanta-based rappers Big Kuntry King, C-Rod, AK, Dollar D.P and Mac Boney. They made their commercial debut on the track "Heavy Chevys", taken from T.I.'s debut solo album, I'm Serious (2001).[2] However, after I'm Serious failed to gain major recognition, Arista Records released T.I. from his recording contract. In 2002, the group released a full-length project together, a mixtape titled In da Streets.[3]
The group's debut studio album 25 to Life, was released in 2005 and received mixed reviews.[4][5] The album title "25 to Life", refers to the group members' ages at the time.[6] Although the critical reviews were lukewarm, it peaked at number 10 on the US Billboard 200 chart on October 8, 2005. The album features guest appearances from Young Jeezy, Young Dro, CeeLo Green, Lil Scrappy and Lloyd; while its production was handled by Lil Jon, Jasper Cameron and Sapp, among others. P$C's debut single "I'm a King", which was produced by Lil' Jon, features Lil' Scrappy and was included on the soundtrack to the drama film Hustle & Flow (2005). The single reached number 67 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.[7]
In 2004, PSC appeared on "Pimp Squad", from American music producer The Alchemist's debut album, 1st Infantry, as well as on the song "Limelight", from T.I.'s third solo album Urban Legend. In 2006, T.I. featured his PSC cohorts on the track "Bankhead", from his fourth album King. In 2008, Big Kuntry King featured PSC on the track "Still Kuntry", from his debut solo album, My Turn to Eat.
In 2008, AK, also known as AK the Razorman, began to show he was disgruntled with T.I. and the label: "I'm an original P$C member. I met T.I. back in 1995; I was six-teen years old and he was four-teen. We put our heads together. He already had a deal in Brooklyn, that's why we made him the leader of the P$C; to lead us out of the streets and into the rap business and that is what happened. When his deal went bad with Arista in 2001 with the I'm Serious album, we didn't leave him nor abort our mission. We didn't leave T.I. behind; we didn't turn our backs on him. We continued to push hard for him. [Big Kuntry and I] came up with our deals and the In da Streets Vol.1 album. You already know the history of how the P$C started. With me being an original member and there from day one, back in the trap days, I was the one who kept T.I.'s head from being shot off. I saved him in the music business as well. Arista did not want to drop his album until he came to them with another hit. That is when myself and Big Kuntry came through with "Heavy Chevy's", it was right on time. We dropped that on him [T.I.] when he thought it was over for him. We got our little check for that and did some shows and got some exposure, it was cool, and nothing was wrong back then; it was all one hundred. But now, a lot of people coming out of Grand Hustle, haven't been promoted as his friends as we were. They weren't the backbone of Grand Hustle like us. We were the first people introduced as T.I.'s group as the click itself. Now you're seeing all these new faces and the old faces haven't even expanded nor done their own thing yet. We're still lingering and waiting around."[8] In a 2011 interview with Inday, a Grand Hustle marketing promoter, he confirmed AK was no longer a part of the Grand Hustle label or PSC.[9]
On May 15, 2017, PSC released a song titled "My Boi".[10][11]

PSC (musical group)
View on Grokipediafrom Grokipedia
P$C, also stylized as PSC or Pimp Squad Click, is an American hip hop group originating from the Bankhead neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia.[1] Formed in 2001, the group originally consisted of six rappers including T.I. (Clifford Harris), who departed in 2002; the core members are Big Kuntry King (Sean Merrett), Mac Boney (Nathaniel Josey), C-Rod (Cortez Thomas), and AK (Akeem Lawal).[1][2][3]
The group emerged in the early 2000s Southern hip hop scene, affiliated with T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records label, and gained initial recognition through mixtapes like In da Streets (2002) before achieving national prominence.[1] Their debut studio album, 25 to Life, was released in September 2005 via Grand Hustle and Atlantic Records, featuring production from prominent Atlanta-based producers and peaking at number 10 on the Billboard 200 chart.[4][1] Notable singles from the album include "I'm a King" (featuring Lil Scrappy and T.I.), which appeared on the Hustle & Flow soundtrack, contributing to the group's blend of trap influences and street narratives.[4][1]
P$C has been influential in shaping Atlanta's trap music sound, with members collaborating extensively on solo projects and label releases, though the group faced periods of inactivity due to internal dynamics and individual pursuits.[1] In recent years, they have reunited for new music, including the 2017 single "My Boi" and appearances signaling a comeback in 2024, maintaining their legacy in Southern rap.[1]
25 to Life debuted at No. 10 on the US Billboard 200, moving 62,000 units in its first week, and peaked at No. 4 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[17][19] The album achieved RIAA Gold certification for shipments exceeding 500,000 copies, marking PSC's only commercial full-length release amid the group's later inactivity.[42]
History
Formation and early years (2001–2004)
Pimp Squad Click (PSC), stylized as P$C, was formed in 2001 in Atlanta, Georgia, by rapper T.I. (born Clifford Harris Jr.) as a collective to represent his close associates from the local street scene and to amplify the emerging Southern hip hop sound.[5][6] The group originated as an extension of T.I.'s early efforts in the Atlanta underground, drawing from his experiences in the city's vibrant rap community to create a platform for collaborative music rooted in trap and gangsta styles.[7] The original lineup consisted of five core members: T.I., Big Kuntry King (Sean Merrett), Mac Boney, C-Rod, and AK (Akeem Lawal), who were longtime friends and fellow Atlanta rappers sharing T.I.'s vision for group dynamics in hip hop.[6][5] Early announcements highlighted this quintet as the foundation, with the ensemble focusing on building cohesion through shared performances and recordings in Atlanta's club circuit and street circuits.[7] Young Dro (D'Juan Hart) had initial involvement in the group's formative activities, contributing to freestyles and sessions before pursuing a more prominent solo path under Grand Hustle.[8] PSC's early ties strengthened in 2003 when T.I. co-founded Grand Hustle Records with manager Jason Geter, positioning the group as a key side project alongside T.I.'s burgeoning solo career, which had gained traction with his debut album I'm Serious (2001) and follow-up Trap Muzik (2003).[9][10] The label provided infrastructure for PSC's development, allowing the members to refine their collective sound without overshadowing T.I.'s individual rise.[6] During 2001–2004, PSC generated underground buzz through pre-debut mixtapes, notably the 2002 release In da Streetz Vol. 1, a collaborative project with T.I. that featured freestyles, original tracks, and guest spots from Atlanta artists, distributed locally to build hype in the hip hop scene.[11] These efforts included local performances at Atlanta venues and features on T.I.'s early mixtapes, fostering group unity and establishing PSC as a staple in the city's Southern rap movement before their major-label debut.[12] In 2002, minor lineup adjustments occurred to streamline the core roster, emphasizing the five primary members while maintaining collaborative ties with affiliates like Young Dro for ongoing buzz.[5]Debut album and commercial peak (2005)
Pimp Squad Click's debut and only studio album, 25 to Life, was released on September 20, 2005, via Grand Hustle Records and Atlantic Records. The title referenced the approximate ages of the group's members, who were in their mid-20s during recording. Executive produced by T.I. and Jason Geter, the album featured 15 tracks rooted in Southern trap aesthetics, with beats emphasizing heavy bass, crunk energy, and street-oriented production. Key contributors included producers Tony Galvin (on the title track), DJ Montay (on "Westside"), Keith Mack, Lil Jon (on "I'm a King"), Cyber Sapp, Khao, and the Crown Kingz, creating a sound that blended aggressive hooks with Atlanta's burgeoning trap sound.[13][14] The album's production highlighted the group's chemistry, drawing from T.I.'s Grand Hustle stable while allowing members like Big Kuntry King, Mac Boney, C-Rod, and AK to showcase verses over trap-infused instrumentals. Standout tracks included "Walk This Way" featuring CeeLo Green, which sampled the Isley Brothers for a soulful edge, and "Like a Movie" with Lloyd, adding melodic R&B layers to the gritty narratives. However, the reliance on familiar Southern production tropes sometimes resulted in formulaic arrangements, as noted in contemporary analyses.[15][16] Commercially, 25 to Life marked the group's peak, debuting at number 10 on the Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 62,000 units and reaching number 4 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[17] It was certified gold by the RIAA on June 14, 2006, indicating shipments of 500,000 units in the United States, bolstered by the rising profile of Southern hip hop in 2005. The lead single, "I'm a King" featuring Lil' Scrappy and produced by Lil Jon, played a pivotal role in promotion, peaking at number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 16 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and number 14 on the Hot Rap Songs chart; its music video, directed with high-energy visuals of Atlanta street life, aired on BET and MTV, helping drive album awareness.[18][19] Critical reception was mixed, with reviewers praising the ensemble's raw energy and T.I.'s ability to elevate the crew but critiquing the album's overdependence on his presence and generic lyrical themes of hustling and bravado. AllHipHop awarded it three stars, commending the actual rapping skills of the non-T.I. members and tracks like "I'm a King" for their anthemic quality, while noting a lack of individual distinction among the lineup. RapReviews gave it 5 out of 10, highlighting soulful moments in "Walk This Way" but faulting repetitive crunk-style beats and clichéd hardcore content on songs like "Murder Game," ultimately viewing it as a vehicle for T.I.'s larger momentum. Promotional efforts capitalized on T.I.'s success with his 2004 album Urban Legend, including radio appearances, in-store events, and features on mixtapes that amplified the group's visibility within the Southern rap scene during 2005.[15][16]Later activities and inactivity (2006–present)
Following the commercial release of their debut album 25 to Life in 2005, P$C experienced a gradual decline influenced by T.I.'s rising solo career and his legal troubles. T.I., the group's de facto leader, achieved significant individual success with albums like King in 2006, which shifted focus toward his personal projects under Grand Hustle Records.[20] This divergence, combined with T.I.'s arrest in October 2007 on federal charges for attempting to purchase unregistered machine guns and silencers, disrupted group momentum and prevented the production of a second studio album.[21][22] Between 2006 and 2008, P$C maintained limited visibility through guest appearances on T.I.'s King, including tracks like "You Know Who," and sporadic features on Grand Hustle compilations and mixtapes such as DJ Drama's Gangsta Grillz: The Leak.[20][23] These efforts included limited live performances tied to T.I.'s tours, but no major group releases materialized amid the label's pivot to solo artists. By 2009, activity had notably reduced, exacerbated by T.I.'s ongoing legal proceedings, which culminated in a one-year prison sentence served starting in 2009.[24] Lineup dynamics contributed to the slowdown, with Young Dro securing a prominent solo deal with Grand Hustle in 2006, leading to his breakout single "Shoulder Lean" and album Best Thang Smokin', which semi-detached him from core group obligations. Other members, including Big Kuntry King and Mac Boney, pursued individual tracks within the Grand Hustle ecosystem, further fragmenting P$C's cohesion by the late 2000s. In the 2010s, PC.[25] As of 2025, P$C remains inactive as a performing unit since the mid-2010s, with members focused on solo endeavors—T.I. on acting and business, Young Dro on intermittent music, and others on independent work. Recent nods to their legacy include collaborative singles like "Switch" in 2023 and "RICO" in 2024, featuring core members T.I., Young Dro, Big Kuntry King, and Mac Boney, signaling occasional revivals without a return to full activity.[26][27] The 20th anniversary of 25 to Life in 2025 saw reflections on their foundational role in Atlanta's hip hop scene, such as a September 2025 documentary on their history and influence, though no new group material followed.[25]Members
Core and founding members
P$C, also known as Pimp Squad Click, was founded in 2001 by Atlanta rapper T.I. (Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., born September 25, 1980), who served as the group's primary rapper, visionary leader, and key contributor to lyrics and production. A native of Atlanta's Bankhead neighborhood, T.I. assembled the crew from longtime friends and local talents to represent Southern hip-hop's street-oriented sound.[28] Dollar D.P. was an original founding member, contributing to early mixtapes like In da Streets Vol. 1 (2002), but departed shortly after the group's signing to Grand Hustle Records due to incarceration and did not appear on later releases.[8] Big Kuntry King (Sean Merrett, born November 1, 1978) brought a street-oriented lyricism and energetic delivery to P$C's hype tracks, establishing himself as a core founding member focused on high-energy performances. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, he contributed to the group's raw, posse-cut style during its formative years.[29] Mac Boney (Nathaniel Josey) provided bass-heavy vocals and club-anthem hooks as a founding member, shaping P$C's anthemic tracks with his distinctive voice. An Atlanta native, he played a pivotal role in the group's early identity through contributions to chorus elements and group dynamics.[30] C-Rod (Cortez Thomas) offered a smooth flow and verses emphasizing group unity, drawing from his background in Atlanta's local rap battles as a founding member. His contributions helped solidify P$C's cohesive sound in early recordings.[31] AK (Akeem Lawal, born January 16, 1979) added an aggressive style and gritty wordplay to P$C's posse cuts, influenced by his Nigerian-American heritage and roots in Fulton County, Georgia, after moving there in 1983 from Gainesville, Florida. As a founding member, he infused the group with intense, battle-tested energy.[32][6] Young Dro (D'Juan Montrel Hart, born January 15, 1979) joined as an initial member with a melodic rap approach, featuring on early tracks and contributing to P$C's foundational sound before transitioning more toward solo work. An Atlanta native, his presence helped blend catchy flows into the group's street-focused aesthetic.Departures and lineup changes
Following the release of PSC's debut album 25 to Life in 2005, the group saw reduced collective activity as individual members shifted toward solo endeavors. Young Dro, a founding member who had signed with T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records in 2004, decreased his involvement with PSC to focus on his own career, culminating in the release of his single "Shoulder Lean" in the summer of 2006, which peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100.[33] T.I., the group's de facto leader, effectively stepped back from PSC after 2005 amid his rising solo stardom, with albums like King (2006) solidifying his status as a trap pioneer. His participation further diminished due to legal issues, including a high-profile October 2007 arrest in Atlanta for attempting to purchase unregistered machine guns and silencers from undercover federal agents while en route to the BET Hip-Hop Awards; he was charged with possession of unregistered firearms and faced additional scrutiny as a convicted felon.[34] These events transformed PSC into an informal side project rather than a primary focus.[6] Members Mac Boney and C-Rod also saw their visibility with the group wane by the late 2000s, contributing to sporadic features rather than full collaborative efforts. In contrast, Big Kuntry King and AK maintained some persistence through guest appearances on tracks and mixtapes into the 2010s, including Big Kuntry King's solo debut album My Turn to Eat, released September 30, 2008, via Grand Hustle and Atlantic Records.[35] Big Kuntry King followed with the 2011 mixtape Everything Big, which served as an extension of his PSC-affiliated sound without involving the full group.[36] The cumulative lineup instability prevented any follow-up studio album to 25 to Life. However, the group has reunited sporadically in recent years, including the release of the single "My Boi" on May 15, 2017, featuring T.I., Big Kuntry King, and Mac Boney, and new music such as "RICO" in June 2024 with T.I., Young Dro, Big Kuntry King, and Mac Boney, alongside interviews signaling ongoing collaborations among core members as of 2024. No formal disbandment has been announced. Core members T.I. and Big Kuntry King occasionally reference PSC's legacy in later interviews, highlighting its role in Atlanta's early trap scene.[37][27][6]Musical style and influences
Genre and sound
PSC (also known as P$C or Pimp Squad Click) is classified within the Southern hip hop genre, drawing heavily from trap and crunk substyles that characterized Atlanta's hip hop scene during the early 2000s, a period when groups like OutKast and Goodie Mob established the region's soulful, bass-driven sound as a major force in American rap.[38] The group's sonic profile emphasizes heavy, rumbling basslines and 808 drum patterns layered with fast-paced hi-hat rolls, creating an intense, propulsive rhythm section that underscores their tracks' anthemic quality through layered group choruses that merge distinct individual flows into unified, chant-like hooks.[39][16] This production approach, often handled by Atlanta-based beatsmiths like Tony Galvin who prioritized prominent drums and bass to drive the momentum, evolved from the raw, gritty street beats of their early self-released mixtapes to the more refined, major-label polish heard on 25 to Life, facilitated by Atlantic Records' resources.[16] In comparison to peers, PSC's style echoes T.I.'s foundational trap aesthetic but amplifies it with the collective, high-energy posse-cut dynamics reminiscent of Crime Mob's crunk anthems or Boyz n da Hood's crew-focused trap narratives.[38]Lyrical themes and production
The lyrics of P$C, also known as Pimp Squad Click, predominantly revolve around the realities of street life in Atlanta's Bankhead neighborhood, drawing from the group's origins in that area to depict the daily grind of survival amid poverty and violence.[16] Recurring motifs include the pimping and hustling culture that inspired their name, emphasizing the art of the con and street entrepreneurship as pathways out of hardship, as seen in tracks like "Set It Out," where members boast about turning small-time schemes into larger successes.[15] Aspirations for wealth are a constant thread, with vivid narratives of escaping financial struggle through relentless ambition, while loyalty to the crew underscores a code of brotherhood forged in shared adversity.[16] The group's lyrical style features braggadocious boasts intertwined with storytelling that captures Atlanta's urban struggles, often dominated by T.I.'s commanding narratives that set the tone for the ensemble. For instance, in "I'm a King," the verses paint survival tales of rising above neighborhood threats through cunning and resilience, blending personal anecdotes with hyperbolic claims of invincibility. This approach creates a raw, confrontational energy, prioritizing authenticity in Southern vernacular over complex rhyme schemes, which helps convey the unfiltered experiences of their environment.[16] Production for P$C's work was largely handled in-house at Grand Hustle Records, with key contributors like Tony Galvin and DJ Montay crafting beats during collaborative sessions that emphasized group cohesion. Techniques included heavy bass lines and drum patterns reminiscent of 1990s Southern rap pioneers, to ground the tracks in regional tradition.[40] Layered vocals were a staple, allowing multiple members to overlap verses and hooks for a synergistic, crew-like delivery that amplified the themes of unity. Samples from earlier Southern influences, like the Isley Brothers on "Walk This Way," added soulful depth to otherwise hard-edged productions.[15] Collaborations played a pivotal role in enhancing the thematic bravado, with features like Lil' Scrappy on "I'm a King" injecting aggressive energy that reinforced the hustling ethos without shifting focus from the core message of street loyalty and dominance. These guest spots, often from Grand Hustle affiliates, provided dynamic contrasts while maintaining the group's narrative of unbreakable crew solidarity.[16] Critics have accused P$C's lyrics of adhering to formulaic gangsta rap tropes, with repetitive emphases on toughness and confrontation drawing comparisons to generic Southern thuggery.[16] However, the material has been praised for its authentic use of Southern vernacular, capturing the unpolished dialect and rhythms of Bankhead life in a way that resonates as genuine rather than contrived.[15]Discography
Studio albums
PSC released its sole studio album, 25 to Life, on September 20, 2005, via Grand Hustle Records and Atlantic Records.[40] The project, executive produced by T.I. and Jason Geter, features the core group members delivering Southern hip-hop tracks centered on street life and crew loyalty. It comprises 15 original songs with contributions from several producers, including Tony Galvin on multiple cuts such as the title track and "Walk This Way," DJ Montay on "Westside," and Cyber Sapp on "Still I Luv Her."[16] The album's total runtime is 67 minutes, blending crunk-influenced beats with soulful elements.[41] Guest features appear on four tracks, highlighting collaborations with fellow Atlanta artists: Young Jeezy on "F**k Where Ya From," Young Dro on "Do Ya Thang," "Still I Luv Her," and "Mess It Up," CeeLo Green on "Walk This Way," and Lloyd on "Like A Movie."[40] Standout tracks include the lead single "I'm a King," where the group asserts dominance over a hard-hitting beat, and "Walk This Way," a reflective cut elevated by CeeLo Green's vocals. Other notable selections like "Westside" and "Murder Game" exemplify the album's gritty, regional sound.
