The Rappers Rap Group, which consisted of five L.A. rappers, MC Fosty, Lovin C, King MC, Macker-Moe, Mr Ice and DJ Flash from Taft, California, released their first single, "Rappers Rapp Theme", in 1982.[2] One year later Rich Cason released "Year 2001 Boogie" on Rappers Rapp. With this record the style changed from the typical old school rap to an electronic wave sound with vocoders and rap. Rich Cason had a major influence on the release of "Magic Mike Theme", "Radio Activity Rapp", "Killer Groove" and "Bad Times (I Can't Stand It)". In 1986 The Brothers Supreme released the West Coast classic "We Can´t Be Held Back" on the Rappers Rapp Label.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
