History

Soul Intent recorded songs from about 1989 until about 1995. Interpersonal issues caused disagreement among members at various times, and now the crew is no longer officially together.

Racist Tapes

In 2003, racist tapes from Bassmint Productions were found by The Source (magazine). Chaos Kid wrote a letter to the editor that said they were making "Suckerin' Rymes" so that they can listen to the tapes in the future and laugh at how stupid they sounded. The Source left out important information on the tapes, and Chaos Kid threatened to find another interviewer to tell the truth.

Where Are They Now

After being discovered by Dr. Dre, Eminem was signed to Aftermath Entertainment and has since become one of the world's most famous rappers. Chaos Kid does not rap much anymore. DJ Butterfingers is still a DJ and, although uncredited, created a sample for the D12 single Purple Pills in 2001. Manix and Vitamin C started recording another album to further Bassmint Productions, called A Second Coming Of Nice, but it was never released. DJ Butterfingers and Chaos Kid also recorded an album in the late 1990's, but that album was not released either. Manix has since expressed hostility towards Chaos Kid, DJ Butterfingers, and Eminem.
