Malk de Koijn formed on New Year's Eve 1993. Tue Track and Geolo G had worked together previously, and Blæs Bukki had been a part of the Danish producer team Madness 4 Real. In the group's first years they released prods (songs copied on cassette tapes) on the underground scene, such as "Lortesangen" and "Livet På Langestrand".

In 1998 their first album Smash Hit in Aberdeen was released, which was nominated for a Danish Music Award. In 1999 the group also won Maarums Lyrikpris, a poetry prize.

Their second album Sneglzilla was released in 2002. It was named the best album of 2002 by Danish music magazine Gaffa and national newspapers Politiken and Ekstra Bladet, and won two Danish Music Awards, two Steppeulve, and six prizes at the Danish Hiphop Awards.

Between 2002 and 2011 the three members worked on other projects. Blæs Bukki was part of the Dancehall/ragga group Bikstok Røgsystem. Tue Track worked as a producer under the name Track 72, and released an album, Rockin'. He is also a part of the band Booty Cologne. Blæs Bukki and Geolo G were part of the play Peer Gynt in Copenhagen's Betty Nansen Theatre.

In 2006 Geolo G announced his retirement from the music industry.
