Jhazingha-Khaliph was a studio-recording clandestine African-American Outsider music group that was primarily active from the years 2002 to 2020 with a few hiatuses. Starting with only four members in August 2002, eventually the group would turn their hobby into a multi-CD discography produced exclusively by themselves. The irony of this was that none of the four founding members were musicians. Eventually one of the four founding members departed the group and the group continued as a trio for years afterward. Then the group broke up in 2007 and the pastor of their church asked them to form a group called The Chronicles. The group reunited in 2008 and existed as two separate groups (Jhazingha-Khaliph and The Chronicles). The Chronicles then ended in 2009 and Jhazingha-Khaliph added a new member weeks later and existed once again as a quartet for eighteen months. In 2010 they reverted back to a trio and then disbanded months later in 2011. In 2015, two of the original members started the band again with a new member. There eventually became multiple different versions of Jhazingha-Khaliph as a flood of newer members came in adding more diversity to the look, sound and spirit of the band. ^[3]

Jhazingha-Khaliph was set apart from many other bands in the fact that it's one of the few that legally exists in several different versions.

They also divided their timeline into two eras; the Original Era from 2002-2010 and the New Era from 2011-2020.

In the midst of all this, as the band Jhazingha-Khaliph, out of the twenty group albums they recorded, they have never sold one album.

After eighteen years they finally ended on December 31, 2020.^[1]

The sixteen members of Jhazingha-Khaliph were Muffy (Muffy), Ce-Line ( Ce-Line ), Pidget ( Pidget ), Lon ( Lon ), Apples ( Apples ), Foxfire ( Foxfire ), Drex (Drex), Nulejun (Nulejun), Mad Ball ( Mad Ball ), NuMe ( NuMe ), Slim Soul (Michael The Man), Peachez ( Peachez ), Pablo (Pablo Blak), EnKogKneegró (N@ELLE), Radish ( Radish ) and Shatta ( Shatta ).

There have been eleven official versions of Jhazingha-Khaliph, each version containing three or four members.

As of 2016, multiple versions began to exist at the same time.

Jhazingha-Khaliph has recorded twenty group albums during the years they were active.^[2]

Jhazingha-Khaliph has received criticism for having a non-urban sound with the beats they have used in a lot of their music, for having members not singing on key, and for trying too hard to be noticed.

Some of the band's music resembled gaming music.

Jhazingha-Khaliph was sometimes not officially recognized as a real band because they did not gig or have any outside interviews.

The band was also advised to pick a lead singer for an audience to get adjusted to their sound but they refused stating they are all equals.

Jhazingha-Khaliph was one of the longest running African-American bands in New Jersey and has recorded twenty group albums.

All the members from the beginning to the end are still in communication with the band.

Jhazingha-Khaliph was one of few groups that has successfully managed their entire project internally, including websites, social media, graphic design, copywriting, writing their own lyrics, recording their own vocals, producing most of their own music, photography, album covers and so forth.

Jhazingha-Khaliph, even with all their history, still identified as a clandestine band.
