Infamous Syndicate was a female rap group from Chicago, Illinois consisting of friends Shawnna and Teefa. They released only one album before they were dropped by their label Relativity Records and then split, 1999’s Changing The Game. Rashawnna Guy and Lateefa met at Lateefa’s 17th birthday party in 1997. After scoring local radio play with their demos, they signed with Relativity Records, who released their lone LP, Changing the Game, in 1999. The album rose to #18 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and #50 on the R&B charts on the strength of the hit single “Here I Go”, which reached #8 on the Hot Rap Singles chart and #63 on the R&B charts. Relativity dropped the group in 2000, after which Shawnna pursued a solo career and Lateefa worked in radio and as a street poet. They also contributed to Ami Suzuki’s song titled Please Stay Tuned from her album Infinity Eighteen Vol.2 released in 2000.
