Rehab is an American rap/rock group formed during the late 1990s in Atlanta, Georgia. Rehab has released two major albums so far; four other discs are also in existence.
Rehab's music is a mixture of southern rock, dirty south rap, reggae, alternative and the popular 90s rap/rock style (made famous by bands such as Limp Bizkit). Three pressed albums have been released: "To Whom It May Consume" (1999), "Southern Discomfort" (2000) and "Graffiti the World" (2005). Previously obtainable only online, "Cuz We Can" (2002) became available on CD in the early months of 2007. Following the release, Rehab had this to say, "Although this may not have been officially what the label intended to put out, it’s the best work we could find and put together as a comprehensive volume to give to the fans."
Rehab was originally formed as a trio: Steaknife,Danny Alexander, and Brooks Buford. Early on, they released their first album "To Whom It May Consume" produced by Steaknife and Brooks Buford. Soon after, Epic/Sony offered a record deal.
Rehab's major label debut, Southern Discomfort, hit stores in October of 2000. With band members Danny Alexander and Brooks, hailing from the city of Warner Robins, south of Macon, Georgia (they dedicated a song to their hometown called "This Town"). Their debut album starts with a skit of them breaking out of a rehabilitation facility. The album went on to sell over 140,000 units, and produced such hits as "Sittin' At A Bar", "It Don't Matter" (Modern Rock Top 20), "Rattle My Cage", and featured such guests as Cee-Lo, Goodie Mob, Steaknife, and Cody Chestnutt.
After 2 years on the road supporting the Vans Warped Tour and playing with bands such as Linkin Park, Danny called it quits over a difference in creative view points.
Part of Danny Boone's appeal to his greatest fans is his love for his home town and regular reminders of it on both his apparel, fore arm tattoos and mentions during many different lyrics of the groups music.
"That's where I grew up and I've lived there most of my life," Boone says. "I always wanted to represent Warner Robins, but I didn't know how because nobody really cared."
When asked about how the group came up with the name "Rehab," Danny is quoted as saying, "You know, we all went through some really bad times in our lives as a group and individually. Some of us didn't make some really wise decisions and got into some pretty bad stuff. We had to go into rehab to get straightened back out. And I got to thinking, since I'm sure we're not the only ones in this situation, and just so people who have been through what we have can relate to it, that's the name we picked: Rehab. Not that we advocate or encourage anyone using anything, but for those who do, you know, maybe we can be a positive influence somehow. 'Cause we've been there."
