The group, whose name stands for "Allah Is God", debuted on the Wu-Tang Killa Bees: The Swarm compilation with the track "Bronx War Stories". An album titled Retaliation Strike was completed but was never released, a situation which eventually caused the group to leave the Wu-Tang stable and pursue an independent route, though they remain on good terms. They finally released their debut Fame Labs Presents in 2005.

American Cream Team

A group once mentored by Raekwon and believed to consist of Chip Banks (d. 2000), Polite, Lord Superb, Twiz, and Rhyme Recka.

Members of the group also made appearances on albums by Rae's fellow Clansmen Ghostface Killah and Method Man. However, after the loss of member Chip Banks in a 2000 shooting, the group split up. Like many Wu affiliates, American Cream Team completed an album but it has never been released (the album was even advertised in the liner notes of other Wu-Tang releases).
