Soul Intent (originally known as Bassmint Productions) consisted of several members including brothers Jeff and Mark Bass, "Proof," Champtown, Manix, DJ Buttafingaz, Chaos Kid (who later committed suicide), and of course, Eminem. The group started their own label that only lasted from 1988-1995. Check out some unreleased songs below. Shady was only a teenager:
