The Animal Crackers are a band or musical group operating out of Cincinnati Ohio. They are comprised of a number of MCs, DJs, and music producers. They got their start in the early nineties, when Casual T, The Cincinnati Kid, and King SMO joined talents. In the early days they performed at local clubs and venues, without substantial national coverage. Later on they eventually expanded by adding Mike B and DQ to their group, which helped expand their fan base and exposure. By the late nineties The Animal Crackers began to gain a larger fan base, and they were eventually forced to perform at larger venues to accommodate this increase. In addition to providing live performances at these larger concert halls and clubs, they would also host emcee battles, which grew quite popular. Around this time, the band also again expanded it's artist lineup, this time with talented new members Unseen and Dirty Ru.
With regard to the current members of the group, they include Casual T, DJ DQ, Dirty Ru, King SMO, Mike B, The Nati Kid, and Topspeed. There are also secondary members which include EQ, Haiku, Philly Phil, and Mr. Dibbs. A previous member called Unseen, unfortunately passed away in 2006. Most of the group members have a long history of music experimentation, each adding their own unique sound to the group's musical blend. The band members also dabble in numerous side projects such as FamGemz, Khankrete, and Glue. The members have also launched solo recording projects, such as Casual T adding his music to skate videos, and some other DVDs. Most of these projects have been within the United States music scene, however on occasion some of the members have made contributions to European projects. For a more complete and up to date list of their tour dates and past appearances, please visit the group's official website or MySpace page.
The group has released four full length albums. The first album was released in 2001, and is entitled Animal Cracker Break Neck Volume 1. The release was mainly a break beat album. Their second studio album was released in the same year of 2001, and was entitled Just Add Water, which was mostly a collection of live concerts and performances. Their third album was entitled Vanilla Hater Breaks, which was a follow up album to their first release. And finally their fourth album was entitled National Geoplastic, which was released in 2004. If you are interested in purchasing any of their albums, or if you would like to listen to track samples, then both can be done at Amazon. That concludes this brief crash course article.

Having their enterprising fiscal ambitions for prosperity fudged and exploited by the tyrannical darkness of a certain indie record label with their first effort, the Animal Crackers hath returned unscathed, a bit wiser, and with unfettered aggression, which can only aggravate the return of good social etiquette and values. The DJ scene has been diluted and saturated by spoiled upper middle class teenagers and fast food breakfast sandwiches. It's now lucrative to possess scratch know-how, which in turn has lead to a flood of scratch sample records, many generic and half-hearted in nature. Insert Vanilla Haters Breaks, a renaissance of sorts in the art. A a renaissance of sorts in the art. A journey of the digits through this record will take one from the standard to the crass to a warped technicolor bloodbath of neuron transmissions. With this single record, it is possible for one to successfully alienate 87 of known world cultures and procreate at least 6 new musical genres.
