Organized Rhyme was a Canadian hip hop group based in Ottawa, Ontario.[1][2]
The group became one of the first Canadian rap acts to sign a record deal with a major label (A&M Records)[2][3][4] and the video for their debut single "Check the O.R." won the MuchMusic Video Award for Best Rap Video in 1992.[5] Comedian Tom Green was one of the group's founding members.[6][7]
History
Organized Rhyme was formed in 1990 by Tom Green (a.k.a. MC Bones), Greg Campbell (a.k.a. MC Pin or Pin The Chameleon) and Geordie Ferguson (a.k.a. DJ Signal).[1][6][7] The group signed with A&M Records in 1991.[2][3] The group released their debut album Huh!? Stiffenin Against the Wall in 1992.[2] That same year the video for their first single "Check the O.R.", won the MuchMusic Video Award for Best Rap Video.[5] In 1993 "Check the O.R." was also nominated for a Juno Award in the category of Best Rap Recording, but the song lost to "Keep It Slammin'" by Devon.[2]
The group toured with such artists as The Barenaked Ladies, Dream Warriors and Maestro Fresh Wes.[8] They disbanded shortly after the release of their first album.[1][8]
Green's 2005 rap album Prepare for Impact included a bonus DVD that contained both a live solo-performance of "Check the O.R." as well as a recording of the original music video.[9]
Organized Rhyme reunited and recorded a new video for "Check the O.R." for the 2011 Just for Laughs festival in Montreal, Quebec.[1]
