The Philly rapper, who was returning the next morning since his work was completed, suggested Bear Klub (for reasons unknown).
Because the whole group dynamic had changed so dramatically, they needed a new name. Gandalf assembled the SQUAD to talk about their new sound and identity. With all the new changes, it was time for another meeting. When Cheesy changed his name to Poetic Memeus, he became Cheesy Melon in his honor. J's younger brother started seeking mentorship from Gandalf and Adult Cheesy, so he was also forming his own identity. Wet PEEL was cookin up fire in the studio, and also legit cookin some good food, so he changed his name to Chef J. Adult Cheesy changed his rap identity to Poetic Memeus. This was great, but it led them both to fall in love with the same thing: memes. He was frequently featuring on Money's tracks, and they were hanging out and getting along real well. His songs were getting more and more lyrical by the day. Adult Cheesy started taking heavy influence from Kendrick and Drake. Gandalf stayed true to himself, but the crew was transitioning again. Under the instruction of the Philly rapper, the group's talent grew exponentially, but this also led to some big egos. Thug and Gandalf shook, and he joined the crew. The SQUAD needed an armored truck just to get out of Paola. Gandalf ran onstage and slammed the Antisquad so bad they started applying for day jobs that very same night. The Antisquad looked weak, and Money was running out of bars. Gandalf had the finishing verse planned, and he would take shifts as a scribe so Money could rest his hands. While one group performed, Money would draft the verse for the next, so that they could continuously battle. Glabe would follow, and PEEL and his brother would perform together to divide and conquer. Raptor Homie would go first, to hype up the crowd. Antisquad, until one crew ran out of bars. The battle in Paola was to proceed verse by verse, SQUAD vs.
They had guts, but Gandalf wanted a little insurance that he would stay with the SQUAD, so he had Money draft their verses.
He was so confident they would win, that he decided to bring in PEEL, Raptor Homie, Glabe, and PEEL's younger brother, the future Melon. But if he won, Thug would join the SQUAD. If Gandalf lost, he would have to leave the SQUAD and join Thug and his group: The Antisquad. D-Thug sent Gandalf a strongly worded text wanting to battle. He has been authoring quality verses since birth, but his story begins with the SQUAD's transition to Bear Klub. Also known as Cheesy Melon, AçAP Cheesy is arguably the most recognizable fro in the industry.
