## Subgroups and Formation

### D-Tag

D-Tag was formed in 2017 by Hacksbin, Todd Red, and famed rapper/OVERTuber Kench. Their friends Kokichi Oma, Miu Iruma, MZA (then known as Misel77) and Monster Man of TPO7 joined the group. The group was collectively known as "D-Tag", but it is now known as "D-Tag Classic". This group was officially formed after the failure of Kokichi Oma's album Therapy, because all the members were much better working as a team. They released their debut album, Tag, You're It within the same year.

In late 2018, Todd Red had died and Hacksbin had way too much to juggle in his life, including school, leaving Kokichi in charge of the group. Monster Man had left the group (but not TPO7) but stated he was on great terms with the group and continued to work with them. A sequel of Tag, You're It was planned, but was changed into Wolf Call. Despite being on hiatus, Hacksbin still released an album in 2019 titled Banned, Again, however it was noticeably shorter in runtime.

In 2019, Hacksbin was still on hiatus, so no new albums (not counting Banned Again, which was all recorded in 2018) were released by him. He did however, appear on Tah Chisa's album, Ride At Night, but it was all likely recorded in 2017-2018.

In 2020, Hacksbin had released The Festival after ending his hiatus and Tah Chisa announced she would be leaving Despair Inc. and joining D-Tag. Because of the lyrical content on Hacksbin's album and her album Ride At Night, many believed Tah Chisa was doing questionable things with Hacksbin. A sequel to Ride At Night was released.

In late 2021, Hacksbin had graduated college, and Kokichi recruited Hunter (then known as the Golden Guard). Hunter then released Coven Boss Vol. 1 under the Golden Guard name, however it was leaning towards more of an independent release at that time. It was not released under D-Tag nor mastered by Hacksbin until 2022, where a deluxe version was released. Hacksbin and Kokichi also played a major role in the creation of Coven Boss Vol. 2 and The Last Days.

### Nexus

In 2019, Kokichi Oma formed the group Nexus, which featured him, KJ Takumi, Cro-1, Dan3 aka Dirty Dan, and Menace. They were all featured on Miu Iruma's album, Crime Pays, on the song "Untouchable". However, Miu stated she was not in the group.

Due to the incarceration of Menace and the group just not working out, it has dissolved.

### TPO7

TPO7 (The Power/Posse of 7) has existed before D-Tag, but they have heavy ties to it. It was founded by Kench, and featured 7 members including Kench. The members were Monster Man, Enishi, Delinquent, Krazy Kat, Redd X, Strike, and Kench himself.

### Hexside/Emerald Entrails

In 2022, after the success of Hunter, Amity Blight, Luz and just The Owl House in general, there was a short-lived group that was referred to as "Hexside" but it was never officially named. The other notable members were Willow Park, Gus Porter, Viney, & The Blights, but there was never an official lineup. It was named after the school they all went to in The Boiling Isles, Hexside School of Magic & Demonics, and as a result Hunter was never considered a member. The Emerald Entrails, Willow's flyer derby team (including Gus, Hunter, Viney, and Skara) also joined in for some time, and made remix albums of Devil's Night and D12 World with D-Tag, but it was short lived because it was a flyer derby team, opposed to the Damien Theory.

## Feuds

### Despair Inc. Records

Despite previously being associates, D-Tag has well-known issues with Despair Incorporated and has garnered a mistrust towards them due to shady practices. The most notable member they feud with is Tah Chisa, who has had an on-and-off relationship with D-Tag. In 2017, Despair Inc and Tah Chisa released Two Sides Of The Same Coin, which contained many insults towards then-D-Tag artist Makoto Naegi. D-Tag members, specifically Hacksbin, Kokichi Oma, and Kench, had made appearances on said album and were infuriated, and they quickly rushed to Makoto's defense with many diss tracks aimed towards Despair Inc, causing the first beef between the camps. After the beef was seemingly over, Junko Enoshima trashed on Hacksbin's album title, Kiss Despair Goodbye, which she thought was a jab at her. Hacksbin was going to name the album Ride At Night, but he didn't because he felt it had much more meaning. Junko then stated on OVERBoard Media that Hacksbin was copying Jadakiss, which Hacksbin denied. Hacksbin scrapped Junko's features on the album because he felt she was being childish.

When the beef seemingly cooled down, Tah Chisa stated she was signing to D-Tag, and released the album Ride At Night, a recycle of the scrapped title for Kiss Despair Goodbye. Tah Chisa slowly became estranged from Despair Inc, which again, made Junko angry. Junko and Hacksbin had a long debate on which camp Chisa should be at until Hacksbin stopped replying to her messages. Junko then dissed Hacksbin and Ghost Child with the song "Fuck D-Tag". The song was a flop and many people laughed at Junko.

The beef almost rekindled in 2022. Due to his association with Chisa and Junko, Akira London was tangled into the fire many times. He made a rant on a Discord server saying "he hates all the tuppers" before getting banned by the mod, LuckyTaaru. Neo-Fi artists Papyrus, Amity Blight, and sometimes Hunter have thrown shade at Akira multiple times. On June 17th, the same day that LuckyTaaru's album *Insight* was supposed to release, she dropped the album "Broken Down Tahoe", dissing Tah Chisa in hopes to gain D-Tag sponsors in the beef. It had no effect and D-Tag just laughed at her. The documentary Tah Chisa: The Rise And Fall was released by Mahiru Koizumi and all disses and beef attention were pointed onto someone else.

### Yerin Luna

Yerin was previously associated with Hacksbin in his adolescent years, until Hacksbin started to date Emily. Emily and Yerin quickly became rivals and then arch-nemeses. So D-Tag has always had a conflict with Yerin. Yerin was accused many times of being a slut, in which she was. Their conflict later escalated into a real beef in 2022, when The Owl Kids garnered mistrust for Yerin. Yerin also made several diss tracks towards Alcatraz (who called her a slut on an interview), Hacksbin, and MZA (Emily). The most notable one was "Bang Bang", which featured her friend Tre. The Owl Kids retaliated at Yerin because they couldn’t stand her everytime she walks into Hacksbin's house and they wanted some sense knocked into her. Yerin dissed The Owl Kids too, but the South Park Dumbasses (Kyle and Stan) joined in the feud with "Drag Em", which featured Amity. Yerin made a grave mistake in "The Wrap", mentioning Luz in the song. Now we just wait for her impending doom.
