Organized Rhyme was a short-lived Canadian rap group based out of Ottawa reknowned for its one hit, Check The O.R., and because of the fame later achieved by one of its members, comedian Tom Green.
Organized Rhyme's musical formula consisted of three things: catchy beats, simplistic choruses and clever rhymes. That formula paid off: their first single, Check The O.R., was a hit in Canada and was nominated for a Juno Award in 1993 for Best Rap Recording, but lost to Keep It Slammin' by Devon.
The group broke up shortly after because their record label wanted them to be a more hardcore rap group and to drop the comedic element of the group.
A dance remix of Check The O.R. was released in 2000.
