"It's a punk rock shoe with the logo on the back" - raps Young L on "Vans"

Since then things have moved swiftly for The Pack with them doing lots of shows (including a big one at Kaiser Auditorium with such stars as E 40) and busily recording new tracks (solo and collaborations) in both the East Bay and Atlanta. When they signed to Up All Nite Music they also officially became a part of the Up All Nite crew along with Too $hort and Atlanta's up-and-coming Murda Mob (comprised of freestyle master Booski, female emcee Lil Red, and Young Bay who was formerly known as Baby DC). As part of the Up All Nite Crew they've already appeared on both the April 2006 CD "Gangsters and Strippers Vol. 1" and on the up coming Fall 2006 CD "Lay it Down" that was released in conjunction with Too $hort's DVD "Pimpin' Incorporated." They've also recorded several other tracks with Too $hort including "At It Again" which appeared on their underground CD "Wolf Pack Music Vol. 1" and "Lite It" which appeared on another limited-edition release: their "Mixtape Vol. 1." To date they have two street albums (Wolf Pack Music Vol. 1 and Vol. 2) and two mix CDs "Wolf Pack Mixtape Vols 1 & 2" which are unique in that they contain music exclusively by group themselves.

In terms of sheer talent and charisma, The Pack have drawn comparisons to another young crew - Atlanta hitmakers Boyz N Da Hood. Coincidentally Jody Breeze of the Bad Boy signed group is a big fan of The Pack and even makes a cameo on "Get Off My Beanie." However longtime Too $hort studio engineer/production collaborator Taj Mahal Tilghman, who is Up All Nite Music's general manager and project coordinator, doesn't like to draw any comparisons to The Pack. "They're totally unique," he said. "And they embody the whole essence of the 'hyphy' sound and style with their energetic crazy party personalities and all that shines through in their delivery and their lyrics." "Organized madness" is how Taj perfectly sums up The Pack's instantly spellbinding 'hyphy' assault - something that is distinguished by their bass intoned flows which is peppered with their own slanguage and slightly varying individual styles. Lil B, for example, sounds like he's intoxicated when he flows. "I spit l like a loogey and it hurt like a rock," laughs Lil Uno of his style, paraphrasing one of his rhymes.

The Pack's sheer appeal is evident from the overwhelming positive phone response that all the radio stations have been receiving everytime they play the future sneaker anthem "Vans" off the album of the same name. As Young L notes in the hook-filled song "Vans" - "It's a punk rock shoe with the logo on the back." "We love shoes....We're like some fashion icons," adds Lil B. Stunna admits that all four members are "obsessed with sneakers." In fact it was in a shoe store that he first crossed paths with Lil Uno.
