History
The group known as Public Defendaz is a collection of multi-talented individuals who represent their personal views through the lifestyle and music of hip-hop. It started in 2006, when five individuals who were already involved in music decided to form the group. Their purpose is to bring audiences a new quality of music that directly reflects the word of the people. By combining the driving forces of lyrical wordplay and versatile productions, this group of individuals from various regions of California banded together to preserve their cultures’ true elements. The group consist of Tha Oktapu$, Royal, j4rd, Taktical, and IyayI da Cali Kid.
