隐藏！创建于2000年，中国人王波和美国人老郑是最早的成员，其目的是为了传播最正宗的说唱文化。最初的时间里，隐藏经常在北京的各大俱乐部中进行演出，与此同时王波和老郑也创作了最初的两首作品，分别是《反常》和《时间的变化》，他们意识到用中文来说唱最适合说唱文化在中国的发展，于是2001年的春天，隐藏组合正式成立。
在接下来的两年里，隐藏组合成为了大陆中文说唱圈的领导者。王波更是蝉联了上海钢铁麦克说唱比赛三届冠军，进而成为一名说唱教师，这也是独一无二的！他更和香港独立乐团LMF&DJTOMMY合作过，并与DMC中国区冠军DJV-NUTZ成立过临时组合进行表演，更参与过许多知名商家的宣传推广活动，诸如NIKE运动服饰和CASIO手表以及PHILIPS移动电话。老郑则是北京最著名的两个HIP-HOP俱乐部的驻场DJ，还在电视剧《啼笑姻缘》《眼花缭乱》中饰演男主角，更是全职模特。与此同时，还为金海星的歌曲《多么骄傲》和CMCB的歌曲《辉煌》录制过混音版本。隐藏在所有北京最HIGH最IN的娱乐场所（TANGO,VICS, MIX, SOLUTIONS, NIGHTMAN, JJ,ORANGE, DAN,LUSH）组织过各种各样的即兴说唱HIP-HOPPARTY，尤其是首创了北京第一届钢铁麦克说唱比赛。隐藏组合曾经参与过中央人民广播电台华夏原创金曲榜,被授予“最佳组合奖”.在北京和上海两地的俱乐部参加过无数的演出。并与加拿大著名DJKID KOALA和DJDOPEY还有著名说唱组合UGLYDUCKLING和JUNGLEBROTHERS有过合作。早期的单曲作品《谁的错》在台湾“摇滚可乐网”的排行榜上占据十大金曲的一席，并有着超过五位数的下载量。在隐藏组合看来，HIP-HOP文化在东方的发展非常迅速，在韩国、日本、马来西亚等地都有很成熟的HIP-HOP基础，而中国的青少年流行文化在这方面则略显欠缺，于是他们想要创立自己的流行观念。观看过隐藏组合演出的观众都感觉自己像是参与了一场时尚发布会，这些观众年龄大都是15至35岁的年轻人，他们将会是中国流行文化的主力。隐藏组合不仅仅给中国的流行文化带来新鲜空气，更有能力通过市场去验证HIP-HOP文化在中国同样也能发扬光大。
今天的隐藏组合因为各种原因,只剩下老郑和马克两名成员,但是隐藏总是在技术和艺术两个方面不断提高自己，不论是找新人一起合作还是参加娱乐圈的其他活动，只有隐藏代表真正的中国说唱文化。隐藏组合的第一首歌《在北京》，在各大排行榜上榜数月，反响强烈。他们也为著名导演曾念平的电视连续剧《眼花缭乱》创作并演唱了片头和片尾歌曲。隐藏的第一张专辑《为人民服务》如同一颗炸弹在全国的说唱界掀起不小的波澜，影响时至今日。在非正式演出方面，每个月的最后一个星期六，隐藏组合，滑板黑社会与DMC全国冠军DJV-NUTZ会在北京的“CLUB愚公移山”举办《SECTION6》,这里是北京市最纯正的HIP-HOPPARTY！ 2008年,隐藏组合特别应中央电视台之邀,为第三届国际传统武术节开幕式创作主题歌<在武当>,这首作平更由国内著名音乐人,奥运会闭幕式音乐总监卞留念先生编曲制作.金秋的武当山,必将上演中国嘻哈音乐史上的最强音,武术嘻哈的概念更因这首作品红遍全球!
应该说：隐藏是一支结合了东西方流行文化，突破传统观念的，用中国话演唱中文歌的部队！隐藏组合反对不健康的说唱音乐，所以他们会一直努力树立中国新时代流行文化的新形象！！！

The Yin Ts'ang legacy began when MC Webber, a localBeijingb-boy, and XIV, a club DJ from Alabama, met at anunderground MCbattle late in the year 2000. From their mutualinterest in hip-hopmusic and culture a solid friendship developedand the duo beganscouring Beijing in search of nightclubs equippedwith twoturntables and a microphone. In one years time, relyingsolely onguerilla marketing and word of mouth, a small dedicatedfollowingemerged and their hip-hop parties were attractingprofitablecrowds. It was at these events that, Sbazzo, a Chinesenationalraised in Toronto, and Chicago native, Dirty Heff,provedthemselves as MC’s that could help the struggling Chinesehip-hopscene move forward. In late 2001, disappointed with theChinese popmusic market’s exploitation and misrepresentation ofhip-hop music,MC Webber, XIV, Sbazzo and Dirty Heff united to formChina’s firstrap group, and named themselves Yin Ts’ang,whichmeans “obscure”or “hidden” in Chinese. The group’s mission was touse the Chineselanguage to produce hip-hop music that couldre-educate thehoodwinked listeners. The four MC’s began recordingtheir Chineserhymes over simple homemade drum loops and one yearlater the grouppicked 15of the fifty-plus tracks that they hadsince recorded anddistributed a demo CD to all the record labels inBeijing. ScreamRecords, known mainly for their punk rock releases,reluctantlysigned the group to a one year contract. Using a friendshomestudio on a meager US$1000 budget, the first officialYinTs’angCD, For the People, was released 6 months later in Decemberof2003. To everyone’s surprise, the first single: Welcome toBeijing,made it to #3 on the Chinese National Radio Charts and wonthemembers of Yin Ts’ang a Chinese National Radio award for “BestNewBand” of 2003. (To this day Welcome to Beijing is one of theonlyMandarin rap songs that can be found in every legitimateKaraokeparlor in mainland China.) Although the release of YinTs’ang: Forthe People solidified this crew as the leaders of thelocal hip-hopmovement in mainland China, a music market controlledby wealthylabels, pop superstars and piracy led Yin Ts’ang toabandon thepowerless Scream Records at their contracts completion.They choseto return to the underground scene from which they came,promotingand supporting themselves by way of nine self-producedstreetalbums (Yin Ts’ang Mixtape, Sbazzo-King of Beijing, KineticRawMixtape Vol.1&2, Section 6-Double CD,MMXIV-Gomerand the FAR DVD Mixtape, Dirty NorthVol.1&2), ayearly street DVD magazine documentingthe developing hip-hop scenein China (FAR DVD), a live monthlyhip-hop showcase (Section 6 @the recently demolished Club YuGongYiShan) and an esteemed hip-hopwebsite,www.yinent.com, whichprovides an onlineplatform for local artists and producers to gainmuch neededexposure. Over the past couple years Yin Ts’ang has hadtheopportunity to perform alongside foreign rap legends such asTheJungle Brothers, Ugly Duckling, Kid Koala, Jin the MC, and DJDopey,also China’s Godfather of Rock & Roll:CuiJian andHong Kong’s now defunct rap superstars LMF. Yin Ts’anghas recordedcommercialjingles for Nike, LiNing, White RabbitCandy, TaiShanBeverage Company and the Chinese BasketballAssociation (CBA).They’ve collaborated with Zhang Yadong on albumsfeaturing ChinaSupergirl Competition winners Crystal Lee (2006)and Zhang Liangying(2007). Yin Ts’ang has been featured on CCTV’s“Super 6+1” and BTV’s“Deal or no Deal” and performed at packedstadiums throughout China,making appearances at The 2003 PepsiMusic Awards, where they werenominated for Best New Rock-Rap Groupand the opening ceremony ofthe 2005 Chinese Golden Rooster Awards(the Chinese equivalent ofthe American Oscars) Today, more thanhalf a decade later, astronger, more experienced Yin Ts’angcontinues to dominate theChinese hip-hop music scene and ispreparing to make history onceagain with the release of theirsophomore studio album. Produced anddistributed with the help ofBeijing’s only exclusively hip-hoplabel: Kurrent Kid Productions(Dragon Tongue Squad), the new YinTs’ang album will not onlydemonstrate the group’s ever-progressingtalent and lyrical abilitybut will once again bring real 100%homegrown Chinese hip-hop musicto the mainstream listeners.
