Being heavily influenced by old school hip hop, they conform to the original basics of rap music; turntablism and MCing. Their DJ, Young Einstein, forms the backbone of the group; he is renowned for performing very complex scratches both on the record and live, unlike in most modern rap where the DJ has been pushed to the back in order to emphasize the MC. He is also the owner of a famous 'Dookie Gold Chain' which is the subject of the groups song 'Eye On The Gold Chain' and is donned by Einstein during most live performances of the track. They are renowned for their live shows in which they perform various antics on stage and interact with the crowd getting them very hyped and affording them the reputation as brilliant live performers.
Their song Smack was featured on Tony Hawk's Project 8, In game and also as skater Paul Rodriguez Jr.'s Footage Soundtrack.
In 2012 group member Dizzy Dustin appeared on UK Hip Hop artist Ricta's debut album Snacks & Deception.

Ring the Bell
Ugly Duckling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah it's nice man (pretty good)
Yo Diz, it's been a while since you did some straight braggadocionics
(Tell it like it is)
I'm cooler than an ice chest, colder than a snow cone
Nicer than the nicest kid under the ozone
I'm worth every penny and tighter than vice grips
Your style is overpriced like a pair of nice kicks
Shoot 'em up like Roscoe P. Coltrane
It costs to be the boss like Bruce Springsteen
And I'm good for your health like a bowl of string beans
Einstein drops the beat, I say holy mackerel
Swoopin on stage like I'm a terradactyl
I can get funky like Ahmad Jamal
So people come to see me like the Taj Mahal
I wanna pen a classic, like Rachmaninoff
Turn it on and off with chops like a tomahawk
I never dug I Need Love
In fact, I dubbed over it with high speed dub
Man, why you dissin LL
Well it's not really LL, it's just that song I didn't like
You thought he was pretty soft
Yeah he was kinda soft (when I'm alone in my room)
Well anyway we gotta do the chorus, here it comes
[Chorus:]
(Now you can ring my bell all through the night)
Ring the bell, ring the bell
(Now you can ring my bell all through the night)
Ring the bell, ring the bell
(Now you can ring my bell all through the night)
Ring the bell, ring the bell
(Now you can ring my bell all through the night)
Ring the bell, ring the bell
Ok, now it's verse two right (right)
Now your first verse was interesting
Some tricky flows in there
Alright, here it goes (everybody)
When I do my thing I bling like afro sheen
Got an old lady, not in the bachelor scene
My mother calls me Dustin but you can call me Dizzy
Don't drink water with the bubbles or water if it's fizzy
So keep it off my rider, yeah as if I had one
Why do I have to be so darn handsome
It's a curse like the goat is to Chicago
I'm out a here, you can catch me down in Cabo
Man I'm a cat in command, call me Heathcliff
And I'm heading straight to the top, like a ski lift
When I'm swingin in this hip hop slugfest
Competition fails like Bobby Brown's drug test
Jiggasauraus keepin it real
You're about as real as a three dollar bill
Blowin more hot air than a hair dryer
I eat cheeseburgers and I got a spare tire
Man you are getting a little fat there
Well, you know, I'm trying to be more like a rapper you know
You mean fat and large, well you know
Anyway we gotta do the chorus, here we go
[Chorus x2]
That's right, now we gonna send a fat shout out
To all the ice cream truck drivers bumpin this song man
Man the ice cream truck don't even come down my block anymore
Why not man
I got bad credit
Well, that's Dizzy Dustin for you
Now when it comes to ice cream truckin, what's your snackly choice
I'm feeling a strawberry shortcake
Now I like the classic ice cream sandwich
What about you Einstein (drumstick)
Einstein likes the drumstick
He wants to know if he can buy cigarettes from the ice cream truck (candy cigarettes)
Now we gotta hurry up and get outta here so Einstein can get back on Friendster
