Candy Coated Killahz were a Canadian musical group from Toronto, Ontario, known for their blend of hip-hop, R&B, and electronic styles, a sound that the group termed "Ghettotronic".[1][2] Hailed by The Globe and Mail as one of the bands responsible for Toronto's emergence as a "music capital",[3] original group members Tasha Dash and Icon the Anomali released their debut album It Factor in 2008[2] after becoming a staple in Toronto's Queen West music scene,[3] and soon came into national visibility in 2009 with their debut single "Playboy". Following the single's success at radio[4] and its appearance in Tyler Perry's blockbuster movie, I Can Do Bad All By Myself,[citation needed] CCK added DJ Danthrax, the third member, and together the group wrote and produced the second album, Neon Black (released July 2011).[5] Singles include "Neon Black" (remixed by DJ Green Lantern, Che Vicious, and Bonjay) and "Light Up This City".
