ATEEM
Artist
An East Coast group associated with Chubb Rock, made up of Rob Swinga (left), Hot Dog (centre) and DJ FM (right). The group released one album (A Hero Ain’t Nuttin' But A Sandwich in 1992 on Select Records) with two singles, appeared on some other East Coast tracks, primarily Chubb Rock’s songs as well as Hot Dog having a verse on Black Sheep’s ‘Pass the 40’. The A.T.E.E.M. were once backup dancers for Chubb Rock before merging into a Rap group.
The famous Chubb Rock often referred to A.T.E.E.M. as part of his extended group. The A.T.E.E.M.’s only album was more or less a group effort – produced by the Trackmasters (Poke and Red Hot Lover Tone), Chubb Rock features on at least 3 tracks, and so does Tone. Likewise, the same group has appeared on Chubb Rock’s albums such as The One or I Gotta Get Mine Yo.
