8 Biological Brothers... Strait 8 started out as two groups Trilogy III and Nu-Era V from Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC. Both groups released multiple singles before being signed to Black Pyramid Records in 2005-06. After releasing two projects under the label, Trilogy III and Nu-Era V decided to join together, not only to form “A Super Group”, but also to help with legal issues both groups encountered.
