La Coka Nostra

La Coka Nostra

La Coka Nostra (or short LCN) is an American hiphop supergroup, comprised mainly of all former members of House of Pain, one former member of Non Phixion and various other MCs and producers.

The group's name is derived from the notorious criminal organization (La) Cosa Nostra (more generally known as the Mafia), which means "This Thing Of Ours", with the Italian word Cosa ("thing", meaning "business") being replaced by Coka, a play on the Spanish word "coca", short for "cocaina" (cocaine). Slaine has noted the idea for the name was to incorporate some slang with the gangster theme, so the name would mean "This Dope Thing Of Ours", with "dope" being slang for something trendy, and not actual drugs.
