Who we are

Thee Unknownz Movement was spawned after a chance meeting happened between N.I.C and Elldub at a function in Las Vegas. The two realized they shared some of the same interests in different mediums of art. After exchanging information, and a lot of subsequent pow-wowing, they came up with a plan to unite and to bring art of any and every medium to the world in its purest and rawest form starting with underground unknown artists who suffered from lack of publicity.

They wanted to start with artists from the local scene of their hometowns of the Twin Cities and Kansas City, then their new adopted home of Las Vegas. TOOM F was definitely part of that.

Elldub, a North Minneapolis graphic artist, vocalist and music producer, brought in his childhood friend Hustle Eastcrook, a canvas, graffiti, and digital graphic artist from St. Paul, MN. He also brought in Dr. Mindbenda, DRMB a South Minneapolis lyricist who brought in his good friend Ellem E. Dawes, a poet and novelist, who also hailed just outside of Minneapolis from Brooklyn Park.
Thee Unknownz Movement was born.

TEE YOO GARB

IS OUR APPAREL PROMOTING THEE UNKNOWN MOVEMENT. A MOVEMENT DEDICATED IN PROMOTING AND UPLIFTING THE TRULY OPPRESSED AND SHUNED. NOT THE “BAND-WAGON” OPPRESSION THAT HAS BEEN CREATED IN THE LAST SIX YEARS OR SO, BUT THE TRULY DISENFRENCHISED THAT HAVE BEEN CAST ASIDE, YET PROFITED OFF OF DUE TO TOHEIR ETHNICITY, GENDER, RELIGION, SKIN COLOR, SEXUALITY, CULTURAL BELIEFS, SOCIETAL BELEFS OR JUST FOR BEING UNAPOLIGETICALLY EXPRESSIVE IN THEIR UNIQUENESS: WHAT SOME CALLED WEIRD.

TO THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN DEEMED ‘LESS’ THEY ARE NOT POPULAR OR RICH. AND FOR THOSE WHO DARE TO ASK QUESTIONS INSTEAD OF TAKING THE SHIT THAT MAKES NO SENSE THATS SHOVELED TO THEM.

THE SKULLS ON OUR APPAREL REPRESENTSTHE FACT THAT WE ARE ALL THE SAME UNDERNEATH. WHEN THE WORLDS POPULATION’S SKELTONS ARE FOUND 1000S OF YEARS FROM NOW, AT FIRST GLANCE THEY WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO DISCERN WHO WAS WHAT RACE, GENDER,SKIN COLOR, RELIGION, SEXUALITY, OR WHAT THEIR ECONOMIC STATUS WAS. SO WHY DO WE DO THAT NOW?

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT MAKES NO FUCKING DIFFERENCE AND HAS NO BEARING ON “WHO” YOU ARE. “CHARACTER” IS ALL THERE IS TO BE JUDGE.

THE 77 ON OUR CLOTHING IS THE YEAR THE DESIGNER WAS BORN.

THE OUTFIT

THE OSIRUS OUTFIT MUSIC FACTION
T.O.O.M. F

The Osirus Outfit Music Faction (T.O.O.M. F) TOOM F was formed after ELLDUB met N.I.C. at UNLV in Las Vegas.
They both quickly realized that they both were heavy involved in music. They began to brainstorm on how they could both elevate their standing by collaborating and using each others resources.
ELLDUB brought in DRMB (Dr. Mindbenda) and N.I.C. brought in college friend Portachild.
Later Dr. Mindbenda would add poet Victor Synide and T'Mika. N.I.C. would later add the group Blak Flame featuring E.B. Blak and Mr. Flame.

They loved to use cryptic acronyms. All together they would make a few albums under the moniker: The H.O.M. project. H.O.M stood for House of M.U.S.O.D. (Mastered Underground Soldiers Of Downtrodden).

Though that was the name over the music collaborations. there was no name for the group of individuals as a whole. ELLDUB is very into ancient history and, at the time, he was deep into Egyptian mythology and religions.
He stumbled upon the God Osirus. He is a god of death and rebirth. He is also the Lord of the Underworld, where he sits and passes judgment on the souls of the dead.
Elldub is really into the macabre and he considered his group of misfit underground artists should be joined under one banner, one name, The Osirus Outfit.
Later to be even more crafty and cryptic, he decided to add Music Faction at the end to create the acronym TOOM F, a play on words for the word Tomb which is also rich in Egyptian culture.
