Crew members included Marley Marl, Mr. Magic, MC Shan, Big Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Craig G, Tragedy Khadafi, Kool G Rap & DJ Polo, Masta Ace, Roxanne Shanté, TJ Swan, and Cool V. The Juice crew was formed in the mid-eighties by Queens producer Marley Marl and his label, Cold Chillin’ Records. Their signature record, "The Symphony," helped spawn solo careers for each member. A fourteen year old Roxanne Shante rose to prominence when she and Marley made "Roxanne’s Revenge" in response to U.T.F.O.’s song "Roxanne, Roxanne." Her record spawned a slew of "Roxanne" related diss songs in the eighties. MC Shan, known best for "The Bridge" and a subsequent war of words with Bronx based Boogie Down productions’ front man KRS-One, released three solo albums and featured on "Da Bridge 2001" for Nas’ QB’s Finest compilation. “The Vapors” will begin filming in January 2008. Furqaan Clover (Queen of Media: The Wendy Williams Story) is set to direct.
