Not to be confused with the Punk band of the same name, Smut Peddlers is collaboration between underground Horrorcore rapper Cage Kennylz and The High & Mighty members Mr. Eon and DJ Mighty Mi. The trio put out one release entitled “Porn Again” which featured the likes of Kool G. Rap, Kool Keith and a unheard of R.A. the Rugged Man at the time.

The promotional video for “Bottom Feeders” was a source of intense controversy among feminists and human right’s activists due to its blatant, extreme, and sometimes brutal use of sex, sexual imagery, and most particularly, sexism, as a source of comedy.

The group would later do a few more tracks on various other Eastern Conference artist’s records and compilation before splitting in 2003 (a track entitled “More In Outs” on The High & Mighty LP Air Force 1 proclaimed “Smut Peddlers is dead” beforehand) after Cage left EC after a alleged none payment and defected to Definitive Jux.

Cage has later made friends with DJ Mighty Mi again and was featured on a track on his latest LP, although Cage is persistent to state that they will be never another Smut Peddlers reunion.
