Swollen Members are a Canadian hip hop group from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada consisting principally of the duo Mad Child and Prevail. They have been called "two of the most innovative people in hip-hop".
Swollen Members was founded in the mid-1990s by Vancouverites Mad Child (Shane Bunting), Prevail (Kiley Hendriks), and Moka Only (Daniel Denton). Having begun a solo career while living in San Francisco, California, Mad Child returned to Vancouver to work. There he met Prevail and Moka Only, who had been working together. They joined together under the name Swollen Members. Soon after, however, Moka Only decided he wanted to pursue a solo career and left the group.
