Lordz of Brooklyn, also known as The Lordz is an American crossover hip hop/rock group from New York. The group was started by brothers [a=Mike McLeer] ([a=Mr. Kaves]) and [a=Adam McLeer] ([a=Admoney]) as the Verrazano Boys but eventually changed to Lordz of Brooklyn where they were joined by [a=Dino Cerillo] ([a=Dino Botz]), [a=Paulie Nugent] (Paulie Two Times), and [a=Scott Westerman] ([a=Scotty Edge]). In 1995, their debut album [i]All in the Family[/i] received favorable reviews and established them as a well-known underground group. Through the rest of the 90s, they would often collaborate with [a=Everlast], and in 2000 with [a=Bumpy Knuckles] they released the EP [i]The Lordz of Brooklyn Meet Bumpy Knuckles[/i]. In 2003 they released the album [i]Graffiti Roc[/i] which included collaborations by [a=Busta Rhymes], [a=Korn], [a=Rampage (2)], etc. In 2006, rebranded as The Lordz, they released the album [i]The Brooklyn Way[/i] and had a reality show by the same name a year later. While the group continued touring they eventually returned to their original name and released the album [i]Family Reunion[/i] in 2020.
