Artist History IN 1992 WHILE ATTENDING ANNE CHESNUTT JR HIGH SCHOOL NERVOUS RECK WAS INTRODUCED TO FILTHE RITCH THROUGH MUTUAL FRIEND MARCUS WOMBLE (SNIPES). TOGETHER THE THREE OF THEM FORMED A GROUP CALLED THE WUF PAK. THEY BEGAN MAKING DEMOS OVER INSTUMENTALS AND SAMPLED BREAK BEATS ON A 4-SECOND SAMPLER ON NERVOUS'S MIXER. THIS WAS THE ESSENCE THAT MADE BOMM SHELTUH WHAT IS IS TODAY. THEN SOON AFTER THE NAME WAS CHANGED TO THE RUFFNECKS. THEY CONTINUED MAKING DEMOS WHICH STRENGHTENED THEIR HUNGER TO GROW. AFTER UNDERGOING YET ANOTHER NAME CHANGE TO NECESSARY RUFFNESS (SOUL SEARCHING) THEY FOUND OUTSIDE HELP AND BEGAN MAKING REAL MUSIC. THEY WERE FINALLY GETTING THE CHANCE TO EXPRESS THEIR OWN IDEAS THROUGH THE RHYMES AND BEATS INSTEAD OF OVER SOMEONE ELSE'S INSTUMENTALS. BUT, THEY STILL FELT SOMETHING WAS MISSING MUSICALLY. THEY THEN MET A PRODUCER NAMED SEAN BEAMON AND STARTED MAKING MUSIC TOGETHER. THEY FOUND A CERTAIN CHEMISTRY WITH SEAN AND HE TAUGHT THEM THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SCENES. AROUND 1994 SNIPES LEFT THE GROUP FOR OTHER INTERESTS WHICH LED THEM TO CONTINUE ON WITHOUT HIM. THEN IN LATE 1995 THEY SIGNED A SINGLE DEAL WITH AN INDEPENDENT RECORD LABEL IN RALEIGH, NC. THE RECORD LABEL SOON FOLDED AND THEY WERE HAPPY TO BE FREE AGAIN. BACK HOME, AFTER NUMEROUS UNSUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIPS WITH LOCAL PRODUCERS, THEY MET BACK UP WITH SEAN BEAMON. NERVOUS RECK AND FILTHE RITCH THEN CONTINUED MAKING SONGS. THEY FELT THE NEED TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES EVEN FURTHER THROUGH PRODUCTION. THEY PURCHASED AN ENSONIC ASR-10, THE SAME TOOL USED BY THEIR MENTOR SEAN BEAMON AND STARTED MAKING THEIR OWN BEATS. THEN IN 1997 DURING HURRICANE FRAN WHILE NERVOUS AND FILTHE WERE SEEKING SHELTER IN NERVOUS'S SHED, THEY BEGAN TALKING ABOUT THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE SHED AND A BOMB SHELTER. THE NAME BOMM SHELTUH STUCK WITH THEM AND BECAME THEIR WAY OF LIFE. CRASH UNIT WAS THEN USED AS THE TITLE OF THEIR CREW THAT CONSISTS OF MANY OTHER MC'S AND PRODUCERS. THEY THEN ADVISED AN ELABORATE PLAN TO BE CARRIED OUT OVER A COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW YEARS. ALTHOUGH THE PLAN CANNOT BE REVEILED, WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THEIR LIVES IS ALL PART OF THAT PLAN. SINCE THEN BOMM SHELTUH HAS PERFORMED AT NUMEROUS SHOWS INCLUDING OPENING SHOWS FOR DOUG E. FRESH AND MOBB DEEP, AMONG OTHERS. THEY HAVE ALSO MANAGED TO PUT OUT THEIR OWN E.P. AND THE FOOD CLOTHING & SHELTUH ALBUM. THEY CONTINUE TO PRODUCE THEIR OWN BEATS AND MAKE SONGS AND HAVE BIG PLANS FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS TO COME. STAY TUNED.......
