O.G.C. debuted on Smif-N-Wessun's 1995 album Dah Shinin', appearing on the tracks "Sound Bwoy Bureill" and "Cession At Da Doghillee". Later in 1995, they teamed up with Heltah Skeltah to form The Fab 5, and released the single "Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka", which became a Billboard Hot 100 hit, peaking at #75 on the chart. In October 1996, they released their debut album Da Storm, which went on to sell 250,000 in the United States. Two music videos were released from the album, "No Fear", and a dual video for "Hurricane Starang" and "Danjer" titled "Hurricane Danjer". Though the album didn't receive as much attention or as many sales as the other Boot Camp releases, Da Storm received good reviews, and is seen by some as an underground classic. The three released a group album with the Clik in 1997, titled For the People. The album received mediocre reviews, and the Clik's popularity began to decline. O.G.C. released their sophomore album, The M-Pire Shrikez Back, in 1999. The album received strong reviews, but sold little numbers, and the single "Bounce to the Ounce" wasn't able to make an impact. The trio was missing from the scene until 2002, when the Boot Camp returned with their second group album The Chosen Few. The three temporarily retired as a group, but continued work with the Boot Camp Clik, and were featured on the Camp's third group album, The Last Stand in 2006. In a 2006 interview, Duck Down Records CEO Dru-Ha mentioned the possibility of another O.G.C. album, rumored for release in 2007.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wake your punk ass up (what time is it?)\
Louieville:
Tired as fuck just woke up what's goin' on?
Gun Clapper 3 yelling sound thee alarm
This ain't no drill move your fuckin' ass cause they here
Pass the mask tear gas is tossed in the air
First bray fuck bust through that front door
They get it and if they double up they get splitted
Hit 'em did 'em no damn good Benedic Arnold
Calm yourself there's no need for panicing
Slugs to him chest leavin' him stiff like manakins
Men it is, the fuckin' worst way to die
But when I die I'm goin' all out with my five
Top Dawg:
But hold on son I got your back you got mine?
First pick flinch or move leave 'em spine
On the table, split belly from the navel
Unable to talk his trash I stalk kick that mayheim(?)
Louieville:
Let's move along, you know us we stand strong
Allah got our backs so we won't go wrong
Cause shit is all hot up in our face
I think we should slide to a place where it's safe
Ay yo come on
Top Dawg:
Time's a wastin' no lookin' back or move fakin'
Devils of all kinds cross lines so now I'm thinkin'
Escape route (no doubt) cause odds is far from even
No joke loc I just hope we see this evening
Louieville:
Just be ready for whatever, come dress for action
If we gettin' past him if not then we just blastin'
So let it not, have to come down to that
But for now son keep the fuckin' mack where it's at
(Talking)
Top Dawg:
It takes one time and a word to start my niggas to envy
You don't know how it is after dark
So stop figuring that we give a fuck
Cause you know me not give a fuck
In this jungle walk we stalk with the shottie
The pumps, come try and put yourself in our boots likkle youth
Better face behind this madness you done started in your root
Louieville:
So who be you copy cat standing over there
Trying to come clear and face to face with my dry tear
I raise hell smells from my inhales
My minds not here and I don't think you want to go there
So stand clear, or get ripped from the rear
To your head, O.G.C. payed dues to get you niggers red (fed up)
Whatever, bring your flame you can call it ruckus
We make shit so hot you can call this Waco Texas (boom)
Starange:
I be Starange man I gets wicked on the flow
Louieville Sluggah:
It's Louieville you know I pack the bat like so
Top Dawg:
I be the Top Dawg but better known as the O
All:
Motherfucks better act like they know yo
The song "Danjer" by O.G.C. tells the story of a group of friends in a dangerous situation. The lyrics take us through the events of a potential raid by law enforcement that they were warned about. The group puts on their masks and prepares for the worst, ready to defend themselves with guns. However, Top Dawg reminds them not to panic and to stay calm, as they make their way to a safe place. The trio emphasizes the importance of being prepared for anything and willing to fight for their lives. They end with a warning to anyone who might oppose them that they are dangerous and should not be messed with.

Stay calm and collected
Slugs to him chest leavin' him stiff like manakins
The bullets make him stiff like a mannequin
Men it is, the fuckin' worst way to die
It's the worst way for a man to die

He's going to fight until the end
But hold on son I got your back you got mine?
Do you have my back if I have yours?
First pick flinch or move leave 'em spine
