DJ Tommy

LMF also known as Lazy Mutha Fucka or Lazy Muthafucka, is a Cantonese hip-hop group in Hong Kong. The group, signed by Warner Music, was founded in 1993, disbanded in 2003 and regrouped in 2009. Some members of LMF are pursuing solo careers. In contrast with the norm of commercialized and packaged Cantopop at the time, LMF writes and perform their original music. All members of the group hailed from poverty and their songs often depict life and struggle in the underclass and working class; which created a lot of controversies due to the cursing and the subject matter. They are ostracized by the mainstream media for a variety of reasons; among them, their perceived negative influence on Hong Kong youth, their promotion of the hip-hop attitude, and their rough appearance that contrasted the normally well-dressed and clean-cut performers in the music industry. LMF offers Hong Kong an alternative to Cantopop. LMF remains one of the few, if not the only, well-known localized rap groups. LMF highlights the economic oppression and social alienation faced by the lower class of Hong Kong, all coming from Hong Kong's overcrowded public housing. LMF's attempt to establish a foothold in the highly commercialized and monopolized Hong Kong music industry is widely considered to be a success despite achieving only moderate commercial sales, due to their longevity, their name recognition (mostly due to negative press), and the original form of music they created. They have a small but die-hard fan base in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Their last and final album, finalazy, was released just before their breakup in 2003. LMF reformed in December 2009, 10 years after their debut release and organized the "Wild Lazy Tour". "The Wild Lazy Tour" included venues in Singapore and Hong Kong.
