Best known as the innovative DJ of Public Enemy, Terminator X (born Norman Rogers) also pursued a secondary solo career beginning in 1991.

His debut, Terminator X & the Valley of the Jeep Beets, was not a radical departure from his work with PE and consisted largely of dance tracks, although there were some vocal contributions from Andrew 13 and Sister Souljah. Prior to the release of his second solo album in 1994, Terminator X suffered two broken legs in a motorcycle accident from which he recovered.

Super Bad featured appearances by Grandmaster Flash, Kool Herc, and the Cold Crush Brothers.
