BIOGRAPHY
Tha Council, are: “Gutta”, “Short Fuze” & Blanco
All originally from the Bronx, NY. Relocated to Rockland County NY at a very young age and attended Spring Valley High School.
Tha Council was formed in 1999 after the members broke away from another group called Fort Knox. It was clear that the sound and style of Gutta, Fuze and Blanco were compatible but did not fit with the others they were working with at the time. As a teenager, Gutta met Blanco and Fuze through a mutual friend and the three eventually formed the group now known as “Tha Council”. Tha Council officially became a Hip Hop force in 1999 when they signed with Big Roy of Onyx Management Services who is now the CEO of HyDra Management Services.
After completion of the production schedule for their first CD, The Bronx is Back, Gutta was incarcerated in spite of the fact that the only evidence against him was circumstantial. However, in spite of this unfortunate injustice, Tha Council’s CD was released on schedule. The tracks were hot and the lyrics were angry, typical of street underground rap.
Tha Council went on to release their second project titled “Gutta’s Revenge”. This CD demonstrated how Tha Council would even the score on CD. Gutta put an intro on a track that was recorded via telephone while in a state penitentiary. Tha Council are featured on the Mix Tape CD created for the book “Dirty Game” by Essence Best Selling Award Winner, Shannon Holmes. In June of 2008 Tha Council released their 3rd CD “Death Before Dishonor which attracted some serious interest in the music industry.
