The Conscious Daughters (TCD) are a female rap duo, consisting of members Special One and CMG, out of Northern California's Bay Area. TCD ushered in the gangsta bitch era of female rappers following Boss's lead. The duo signed in 1993 to controversial militant rapper Paris's record label Scarface Records after passing him a demo tape at a club. The single and video release of their 1993 hit Somethin' to Ride (Fonky Expedition) helped TCD gain national recognition.
