The Bajan duo of Adrian O'neale and Omar "Chilly" Jordan better known as Fraud Squad just secured a licensing deal with the Canadian series The Kink In My Hair which airs on GlobalTV. Michael Pelmetter, a music supervisor with over a decade industry experience was looking for music for the show and chose their songs "Haunted and "Bring Drinks". This is a significant achievement for these two who have been on the scene since 1999 but have not received many accolades for their dedication.
Originally the group comprised the two current members along with Shon Cummins. "Tek Dat" was their breakthrough hit. The following year they came out with "Yuk Wuk" and released the album Undercover in 2001. Some of their popular tunes include "Haunted," "Bring Drinks," "Pork Mout," and "Caan Get De Rass Hol". They also collaborated with Trini artist Patrice Roberts on the song "Wuk Tonight"
