Zimbabwe Legit are a pioneering hip-hop group in that they were one of the first African hip-hop artists to put out a record with a major US label. As fate would have it though, that label would go under, and the brothers would remain in limbo - left to find their way in hip-hop through other endeavors, vehicles, forums and even groups. OUt of this adversity O.U.O was born, a related group that consists of doomE and his cousin Pep. More than a decade after Zimbabwe Legit had completed their full length album that never saw the light of day, they found a label and situation that would enable to release the lost tapes and re-introduce the world to the Brothers from the Mother.
