Atbann Klann

US californian hip-hop group, which stood for "[b]A[/b] [b]T[/b]ribe [b]B[/b]eyond [b]A[/b] [b]N[/b]ation".

[a=Willonex] (aka Will 1 X) met [a=Apl. De Ap] in eighth grade and they formed a break-dance crew. Later they began performing music as [a=Atbann Klann].

The original line up consisted of [a=Willonex] (Will Adams), [a=Apl. De Ap] (Allan Pineda), [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Mook+(4)]Mookie Mook[/url], [a=DJ Motiv8] and [a=Dante Santiago]. Also contained production and input from future Crazy Town founding member [a=Epic Mazur].

They released only one single (as promo) in 1994. The album "[m=897137] was completed and recorded in the early 90's but, due to label politics and label head [a=Eazy-E]'s death in 1995, the album was never released.

After leaving [l=Ruthless Records], [a=Willonex] and [a=Apl. De Ap] joined forces with [a=Taboo (9)] and became the [a=Black Eyed Peas]. Shortly after signing with [l=Interscope Records], [a=Willonex] changed his name to [a=Will I Am].
