La Coka Nostra (or short LCN) is an American hiphop supergroup, comprised
mainly of all former members of House of Pain, one former member of Non
Phixion and various other MCs and producers.
The group's name is derived from the notorious criminal organization Cosa
Nostra, which means "This Thing Of Ours", with the Italian word Cosa
("thing" meaning "business") being replaced by the Spanish word Coka which
stands for Cocaine. Slaine has noted the idea for the name was to
incorporate some slang with the gangster theme, so the name would mean
"This Dope Thing Of Ours", with "dope" being slang for something cool, and
not actual drugs[LINK: http://www.savehiphop.org/blogg/?p=166] [1].
Without having an official single release, the posting of their songs via
their MySpace page generated a huge fan base, becoming a minor internet
phenomenon: as of December 2007, they have more than 55,000 fans added as
"friends" on
