The Comrads was American gangsta rap duo from Lynwood, California, composed of Kelly "K-Mac" Garmon and Terrell "Gangsta" Anderson. The pair made a major splash in the Los Angeles area in the summer of 1997 with the single "Homeboyz" from their self-titled debut album. The duo signed with Mack 10's Hoo-Bangin' Records and released their sophomore studio album Wake Up & Ball in 2000.{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-comrads-mn0000066205/biography|title=The Comrads {{!}} Biography & History|last=Azpiri|first=Jon|website=AllMusic|language=en-us|access-date=December 24, 2019}}

After the group split, K-Mac joined Mack 10's supergroup Da Hood to release Mack 10 Presents da Hood in 2002. Gangsta has released his solo album Penitentiary Chances via Heat Rocc Entertainment in 2003.
