BIO
Suspect  Establishment is   a   five-member   organization  of  producers  &  writers  born from  the  original  duo  The  # 1 Suspects,  whose  founding   members   were  Gordon Montgomery,  stage   name   "Mr.G   The   Conductor" and   Craige  Hoskins,  stage  name "C-Nile"   (Creatively   Narrating   Intence   Living   Experiences).   The #1 Suspects quickly  gained  notoriety,  flooding   the  streets  of  Detroit  with   underground  Hip-Hop.   As  the name  of  The #1 Suspects grew,  so  did  the number of  artists  produced  by  the duo.

The  strongest  members  of  the
Suspect entourage  united  for  the  common  cause  of pursuing  the  music  they  love  as  a career  and opening  the doors of the  music industry, which  have  long  been  looked to  the Detroit  talent base since the departure of Motown Records.

With the the addition of three new  members:  Kimberly Adams,  stage name
"Slim Da' Lyricist", Dermaine Williams,  stage  name  "Fury"  (For Urban Revelation You Know What I Mean);  and James Smith,  stage  name "Jah"  (Just Another Human), the  cipher  was  completed.   Shortly after,  in  1993,  Suspect Establishment became a  musical  family  unique unto itself, unable to  be  defined by  stereotypical labels.  Their  music is  as  diverse, as life, touching on spiritual, social, political, economical and racial issues, delivered as education.

Veterans  of the Detroit  music  scene,
Suspect Establishment has performed  at  the  C-Note Lounge,  Ebony  Showcase Lounge,The  Fine  Arts Theater,  All Jokes Aside,  Snooks Lounge,the  State  Fair Grounds,  Coffee and Cream,  on  the talk  show  African-Americans,  Yesterdays and  the Martyrs of Uganda Church in support of the New Marcus Garvey Movement.

Out of the vision of entrepreneurship and creative expression,
Estab Records and Chemistry Productions were charted by Suspect Establishment, with Gordon Montgomery and Dermaine Williams as Co-Chief Executive Officers. Estab Records prides itself on being an independent operation involved in all aspects of the music business from writing, performing and recording to manufacturing, promotion and distribution.  Their first project "Play The Game" was heard regularly on Detroit radio stations. Their second project " F.E.D.S."
is due to be released the summer of 2000 with the first released single & video "Dollar Bill".
