Onyx’s huge hit “Slam” topped the US Rap Chart and crossed over to the pop chart in 1993, reaching #4 that August. It also found success in the UK, Germany & New Zealand.

“Slam” was the group’s biggest mainstream success, fueling the huge sales of their debut album Bacdafucup. It is also notable for being one of only a few only songs on the album that didn’t have a misspelling in its title.

Onyx’s performance of “Slam” on In Living Color aired in May 1993, two months before it topped the US Rap Chart.

In June 1993, a heavy metal ‘remix’ of the song featuring the hardcore band Biohazard was released on Slam – The Alternatives.
