Members: @Mr_Slippaz85 & @c0pp0
The hip hop duo was formed in 2009 on accident and has been crafting a unique sound ever since. Welcome to the Science Center was released in July 2010 as a compilation of musical experiments finding their sound. The upcoming Dress Clean x Talk Dirty project, is some of those ideas fully realized and developed. Look for drops from their mixtape entitled Pirate Life leading into the project.
Steve Francis Accused of Sexual Assault
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, Francis allegedly "groped" a 20-year-old woman through her clothing in May 2010 ... and the woman immediately went to the cops to file a complaint.
The alleged victim tells TMZ ... she is a singer who was signed to Steve's record label and on the day of the alleged incident, she had met Steve at an office to discuss her contract.
The woman, Shauna Simien, tells us the "groping" while the two were talking outside, when Francis reached down and grabbed her between the legs.
Simien claims she screamed for him to stop -- and that's when a few of her friends, whom she brought along for protection, rushed over to break things up.
Despite the fact Simien filed her police report more than a YEAR ago, law enforcement sources tell TMZ the case is still open and no charges have been filed. Simien says she is frustrated the case has not progressed and is considering a lawsuit against the District Attorney's office.
We placed several calls to Francis, his record label and his management company -- so far, no official comment.
