About DRS
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
DRS, short for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, was a Los Angeles vocal quintet blending R&B harmony with hip-hop subject matter. Members Pic, Blunt, Endo, Deuce Deuce and Jail Bait used closely arranged singing, including a cappella passages, alongside harder-edged material. That mixture distinguishes the group's Gangsta Lean-era recordings from acts built primarily around spoken rap delivery.
