Tystion (1991 - 2002)
Tystion (English: Witnesses) was a Welsh language hip hop band from Wales. Background In 1996, MC Sleifar (Steffan Cravos) and G Man (Gruff Meredith) got together and released a few cassettes themselves. A year later they released the album ''Rhaid i Rhywbeth Ddigwydd'' (Something's Got to Happen), recorded with future Murry The Hump member Curig Huws, on their own Fitamin Un label. This caught the eye of Ankstmusik who then released their second album ''Shrug Off Ya Complex'' in 1999. Meredith then left the band to become MC Mabon. Cravos was then joined by fellow rapper MC Chef (Gareth Williams) and Clancy Pegg on bass and keyboards. Their third album ''Hen Gelwydd Prydain Newydd'' (New Britain's Old Lie) was released in 2000 on Fitamin Un. The band announced their split in August 2002. The announcement was made by Steffan Cravos from the stage of ''Maes B'' at the National Eisteddfod in St David's, at what was to be their last gig.

Shrug Off Ya Complex (album)
A shrug is a gesture performed by raising both shoulders, and is a representation of an individual either being indifferent about something or not knowing an answer to a question. The shoulder-raising action may be accompanied by rotating the palms upwards, pulling closed lips downwards, raising the eyebrows or tilting the head to one side. A shrug is an emblem, meaning that it integrates the vocabulary of only certain cultures and may be used in place of words. In many countries, such as the United States, Sweden and Morocco, a shrug represents hesitation or lack of knowledge; however, in other countries, such as Japan and China, shrugging is uncommon and is not used to show hesitation. People from the Philippines, Iran and Iraq may interpret a shrug as a somewhat impolite sign of confidence. Emoji The shrug gesture is a Unicode emoji included as .
