I checked the soundtrack listing [on IMDb](http://us.imdb.com/Soundtracks?0298203) and Onyx was the only group with a name like that.

Cool, thanks for the link. I guess is wasn’t ONYX, it was Mobb Deep - Shook pt2. Thanks again.

yeah, the song is shook ones pt. 2 of the album “the Infamous.” the beat was produced by Havok who is one half of Mobb Deep. It is considered by many to the G.O.A.T. beat
