The International Cons were brought together in 1969 in Baltimore, MD. After winning grammys as a soloist James Vegas decided that he wanted to put together the greatest R&B group of all time. He contacted his cousin Truth to see if he wanted to be in. Truth brought his close friend Duke into the fold. James appreciated the baritone sound that Duke brought to the table. James recruited his best friends in high school Jessica James and producer Vodka Trey. Jessica suggested her friend S dot V, whom she referred to as "Fake Katt Williams." This was 1969 and nobody knew who Katt Williams was by the way. So now "James Vegas and the High Rollers" were set to go. They released the #1 album "Stop Gambling With My Love," which featured the single "I Don't Care If Thats Your Man He Can Catch These Hands." Making money, scoring with groupies, and winning awards became entirely too easy for the rag tag bunch. So one day in the studio James and the gang started something they called "freestyle rapping" and Vodka had a brilliant idea. "I'll build a time machine and we can tranport to the future, the 90's and be the dopest rap group ever." James and the bunch agreed and to the future they went. But the problem was there was a miscalculation in Vodka's time travel formula and the group ended up in 2018. Looking just as young as they did in the 70's the group renamed themselves "The International Cons" and laid down a plan for total rap domination.
