Phillip Allen, alias Mac-10 or Ten Dolla, and Adam Hicks, alias Ad Kapone came together in 1991 and were signed to In-a-Minute Records. What first sparked their success was release of the single, “No More Mr. Nice Guy.” The duo’s first album was 1991’s Direct from the Backstreet, which peaked at #87 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Rapper Scoot Dogg of EPA is also a member, but joined later, and appeared on more than one album; however, he was not on every album. They would later return with two albums, 1993’s Goin’ Insane and 1995’s Backstreet Life which peaked at #61 and #48 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Album chart respectively. Totally Insane would then release Totally Insane in 1998, Da Game of Life in 2001. Ad Kapone of Totally Insane was sentenced to six years in prison in 2001 for possession with intent. While Mac-10 has not yet released an album as of yet, Ad Kapone is back and has released The K Word, keeping the TIE (Totally Insane Empire) alive.
