One of the earliest Tamil hip hop groups to release a full-fledge album, The Villanz played an important role in shaping the Tamil hip hop scene during its early years. Their album Asthivaram released in 2007 was considered forward-thinking back then. Consisting of Kash, Capital J and Jamal, the trio went on to dominate the scene during Tamil hip hop early years through their infectious tracks. Tracks such as the self-titled Asthivaram, Ninaivugal, Siraichalai and Rock Your Body shows what The Villanz can do at their best.
The Vallavan album became a career-defining platform for Emcee Jesz. His raw, gritty and aggressive tone quickly clicked with the Tamil community. It can be said that Emcee Jesz somewhat brought Tamil gangsta rap into the Tamil scene. Soon after Vallavan, Emcee Jesz became one of the most sought after rapper in the Kollywood industry. Thus, it is only fair to say that Vallavan propelled Emcee Jesz into Kollywood and he eventually appeared on the silver screen through Kuruvi, Laadam, Masilamani and more. In Mid 2009, the aspiring and now successful rapper released his solo album titled Kavithai Gundar with Chennai-based record label Studio 8.
