Biography

SFDK was formed in 1992 by Zatu together with school friends. The group released a demo tape, before Acción Sánchez joined. As SFDK became more widely know in the region, they released two more tapes before, in 1997, founding their own record label, Zeroporsiento. Using their own label, then released the single, "Llámalo como lo quieras" (Call it what you want). The group then fell apart, leaving only Acción Sánchez and Zatu.

Two years later, SFDK released their first album, "Siempre Fuertes" (Always Strong), critically received as a very aggressive hardcore hip-hop album. Then they released the albums "Desde los chiqueros" (From The Pigpens) and "2001: Odisea en el lodo" (2001: Odyssey in Mud), changing their style towards a more accessible kind of hip-hop, and gaining popularity and commercial success.

They created their label, SFDK Records. In 2005, they earned a Gold Album for their album "2005".[ citation needed ]
