Luke Featuring The 2 Live Crew is a fusion project of the controversial Miami-based group, 2 Live Crew, with its leader and rapper, Luther Campbell, known as "Luke." This collaboration is renowned for its explicit lyrical content and pioneering role in the Miami bass genre, a subgenre of hip-hop known for its fast tempo beats and heavy use of bass. The group's most influential work, "Banned in the USA" (1990), marked a significant moment in music history due to its legal battles over obscenity and copyright, which ultimately led to landmark rulings on the freedom of speech in music.
