Deangelo Hatcher,19(3rd Degree Beatz)had already at time started makin beats and sound on an xbox where Davion,16(Prince Slade)and his brother Paul Bayer,19(Young Po)started putting together some rap. Jermaine Bulter,18(Kid Cash)then came in with some of his verses.These were the Original 4 of the group that at the time called themselves "Tombstone Mafia". After feeling that this name did not suit them they later change it to "Tha Young Gooniez cause of their ages. During this time Danielle,19(ShiGurl), Derrick19(Prophet),Melvin Green,18(Suspect)and Maurice,27(Mdirty)who came from a radio station battle against tha Gooniez and soon join the group.

This took them to having shows in the communities and have a most requested hit "anymonous" on XM 66 raw along with Tabi Bonney hit"Put It In The Pocket".
