While hip-hop prides itself on being the soundtrack to the streets, Field Mob have done their topper to represent the rural area. Boondox (aka Smoke) and Kalage (aka Shawn Jay) hail from Albany, GA, a small town outside Atlanta that is best-known as the birthplace of soulfulness fable Ray Charles. The couple chose the diagnose Field Mob to represent the Field, a small area of Albany where they grew up. The deuce met in high schoolhouse later on Boondox saw Kalage freestyling in the schooltime court. Boondox challenged him to a battle the future day, and they decided to become partners after. The duet landed a deal with a small main record book label and recorded their first individual, which caught the attention of MCA. MCA quickly signed them to a deal, and in 2000, they released their number one record album, 613: Ashy to Classy. Despite their geezerhood and lack of get, 613: Ashy to Classy was a polished try that featured cagy lyrics and self-coloured yield. The same can be said for From tha Roota to tha Toota, the 2002 followup that showed the Georgia natives collaborating with Trick Daddy and moving closer to the OutKast-esque yield work they hinted at on their debut. The couple of youngsters has shown that they can contend with the best hip-hop has to provide, and they've through it spell eating away their land roots with superbia. Light Poles and Pine Trees, their first-class honours degree album for Geffen, was released in 2006.
