Their debut album,
"Home Sweet Home" (released only on cassette) was made and released in Fall,
1994. As Jamie stated at that time, "We didn't have shit for money but we
managed to sellenough of the cassettes to have the spirit to continue." Also in 1994, Mr. Bones (Jamie) hooked
up with Death Lock and Looney Toon to do a one time project which was entitled
"Mr. Bones and
A year had passed and in
that time the House of Krazees had "juggled more investors than a cheap hooker
juggles balls" until they came across a fine "snake" name Walter
Stepananko. Stepananko claimed to
know a lot about the recording business and this is a really
big reason for the original break up of the House of Krazees. Stepananko complained a lot about not
making enough money and referred to the House of Krazees as a "bad investment." For some reason, he just kept financing
the recording of their music and never paid them a dime. From Jamie Madrox's point of view, this is how he viewed this time in House of Krazees: "In my 4 years with HOK, I made a total of
$330. Now, ya don't need a
calculator to figure out that ain't shit! Times got so rough that I had to get a
job cleaning toilets just to make some loot but still kept recording for the
snake all the while! I'm a musician, not a fuckin' janitor! So fuck yeah, I want
everybody's money, an even trade, phatt music for phatt bucks, just like any other job or career! Do you
think I used to clean toilets 'cause it was fresh? HELL NO, I did it 'cause I needed that
green! We've also been accused of bein' lazy! Makin’ an album or even recording
is not an easy job, if it was, everyone would have one out! A lot of time,and hard work goes in that
and if were lazy, we wouldn't have 8 releases and a compilation
album
under our belts in a 5 year
span, think about it! We're not
claiming to be stars or anything like that, we're doin' what we like to do,
music! Our music, our way! We've
just begun to shine! We don't think we're the shit 'cause "We've
always thought we were the shit" we just never had the right opportunity to
show what we could do with our own music in our own way, like we have with
Twiztid and the proper management!
To sum it all up, we built HOK and we had every right in the world to
destroy it!"
During 1995, Mr. Bones released his first and only solo album entitled
"Sacrifice" in early
In the late Spring of 1997, the House of Krazees released their L.P.
"Head Trauma" under Latnem Intertainment. Sleepwalkaz was no longer and Skrapz
began working on a solo project and a side project with Demigodz, Powda (now
known as "Freeze") and Seizure.
Also, during this year of 1997, R.O.C. joined the Omen Tour with Insane
Clown Posse and convinced them to allow his group, the House of
Krazeees, to preform on the following tour: "All Up In Yo Face." Before the break up of the
House
of Krazees, they released
a greatest hits album "Remix and Rewind" also known as "Collector's Edition '97"
and then parted ways.
As Jamie and Paul moved on to be Jamie Madrox and the Monoxide Child of
Twiztid, R.O.C. went on to form a group called “The Howse” and released an album
called "Esohpromatem." The members
included R.O.C., Beast, Armageddon, Pimpette, Mr. Vitology, and Shang-Hi. The Howse disbanded in 1998 and R.O.C.
moved on to be known as SOL.
In 1998, SOL and his new partner Skrapz came together to reclaimed the
House of Krazees name and to do a one/last time release under this name,
originally entitled "Season of the Pumpkin 2." As time came closer to the release
of this new album, they decided to change
the name to "The Night They Kame Home" which was in released February 1999. After this release, SOL and Skrapz left Latnem
Intertainment to create their own Indy label called "Virus Independent." Under Virus Independent, they released a
rare/free "Virus Shit Sampler" tape.
Soon after this, they released their maxi-single called "Serial Killaz." The information in this bio of House of Krazees is credited to Jamie Madrox in an e-mail to LordsOfAcidGirl dated Sunday, August 2nd, 1998 and a timeline made by Skrapz.
