N2N means fist to fist,ilianzia kwenye dojo
(swahili for it started at a martial arts training camp).lord eyes was starbed on a given occasion after a disagreement and hence realized the dangers of chaos and turned their interests to doing and making music,besides that each member had previous musical engagements
Lord eyez rapped with Hard core unit(1996) the group comprised of;lord eyez,j.c.b.,spark dog. Spark and lord eyez later stepped out of the game to undertake other engagements .Jcb later joined up with other rapperz,but maintained the same stage name" hard core unit"-”Watengwa” (1998) Lord eyez went solo afer jcb reformed H.C.U”Watengwa” and did two tracks-nakufunika original and remix and mandezi a diss track. It was after that,that Lord eyez formed N2N in 1999-he signed Bou nako which automatically included his other partner g-nako who were at the time in the game as Chronic mob,Dar hustla later joined and formed the basis that led to the recording of the first track “ndozetu”(g-nako,lord eyez and ibra dar hustla in Nairobi at Andaki studio projects. as for spark he formed K.C.K--Kid Can Kill,
