The Conscious Daughters (TCD) were an American female hip hop duo from Oakland, California, consisting of Carla "CMG" Green and Karryl "Special One" Smith.[1] The duo signed in 1993 to Paris's record label, Scarface Records, after passing him a demo tape at a club.[1] They released their first studio album, Ear to the Street.[2] later that same year.
The single and video release of their 1994 single, "Somethin' to Ride To (Fonky Expedition)", helped TCD gain national recognition. Soon after, they were signed by Priority/EMI Records and released their second album, Gamers. Many collaborations, projects and television appearances followed, most notably Rap City, MTV Jams, and Soul Train.[3]
Their third album, The Nutcracker Suite,[4] was released on Guerrilla Funk Records on February 10, 2009. In 2010, TCD severed their relationship with Guerrilla Funk Records, and in 2011 they signed a distribution deal with Phaseone/Sony.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
