Charles Casseus also provided vocals and was a member of Key-Matic [Breakin’ In Space, Jazz Up & Hip Hop].

From around 1981, long before Public Enemy, Aaron was a member of Spectrum City. He was Chuck D‘s original rhyming partner and was also the first artist from Long Island to gain a record deal. Following the release of Lies on Vanguard, Aaron released On A DJ’s Birthday for TNT. 

In 1987 he also released ‘Do The Whop (Drop The Bomb)’ on Profile under his given name. He was also known as A-Yo as a member of the group 5ive-0 aka The Homicide Squad in the mid 90’s who themselves were also members of The Wreck League. The group appeared on the track ‘Rumbo N Da Jungo’ with Chuck D from the Street Fighter soundtrack in 1994.

Aaron is a highly successful martial artist and has his own system called Boxnin, a mixture of Boxing and Ninjitsu.
