Sqad Up

Sqad Up are an American hip-hop group that formed in 1999 and split up in 2004. The group consisted of 7 guys from New Orleans who go by the names of: Lil Wayne, Dizzy, Gudda Gudda, Kidd Kidd, Supa Blanco, T-Streets and Young Yo. They released six free mixtapes in their career from SQ1 to SQ6 and you can download them all at our mixtape downloads page.

The reason the group split up was because they thought they was ready to drop an album, but Wayne wanted to wait for Birdman to give them the “green light”. After some time had passed, Baby still wanted the group to carry on dropping mixtapes before working an album, so Sqad Up (except for Weezy) decided that they had a better chance of rolling on their own. Forward to 2012 and everyone from the group are back on speaking terms, but there is no word on a Sqad Up reunion project. You can view who was a member of Sqad Up below including some notes on them.
