Page "Professor Griff" Paragraph 1

After returning from the army, he started a security service to work the local party circuit, calling it Unity Force.

At the time, Carlton Ridenhour ( a. k. a. Chuck D ) was part of the Spectrum City DJ-for-hire service led by Hank Shocklee, and Spectrum and Unity Force frequently worked side-by-side at local events.

When Public Enemy was formed and signed to Def Jam, Ridenhour invited Griffin to be a sideman.

Unity Force was renamed " The Security of the First World ", or S1W for short.

The S1W's were brought along, and became a curious combination of bodyguards / dancers for the band.

Their stage routines were a loose combination of martial arts, military drill and " step show " dances lifted from black college fraternities.
