Strong Arm Steady, often referred to as
SAS, is a
hip hop group in
California's
underground hip hop scene. As of December 2009, the act consists of members
Mitchy Slick of
San Diego, California, and (both of
Los Angeles)
Phil Da Agony and probably the most visually distinct member,
Krondon, who is
albinistic. Originally an amorphous collective of at least eight, formed as an alternative to the
gang-focused productions of
West Coast rap's then-dominant
Death Row Records, SAS pared down to four members for recording in the studio and performing live, with
Xzibit as the frontman. Since he left the group in 2006, the three remaining members have been a stable trio.
