Da Storm is the debut album from Hip Hop trio O.G.C. (Originoo Gunn Clappaz), released in October 1996 through Duck Down Records. O.G.C. members Starang Wondah, Louieville Sluggah and Top Dog gained fame as members of the Hip Hop collective Boot Camp Clik, debuting with Heltah Skeltah as "The Fab 5" in 1995. The two groups split up to release separate debuts in 1996, with Da Storm coming as the last Boot Camp Clik debuts, after Black Moon's Enta Da Stage, Smif-N-Wessun's Dah Shinin', and Heltah Skeltah's Nocturnal. Out of these four Boot Camp albums, Da Storm sold the least, reaching just over 200,000 copies in the United States.
The album featured two singles; the first was "No Fear", which featured "Da Storm" as a B-Side; the second was "Hurricane Starang", which featured "Gunn Clapp" and "Danjer" as B-Sides. The lead single "No Fear" peaked at #13 on Billboard magazine's Hot Rap Singles chart. Videos were shot for three tracks, "No Fear", and a split video for "Hurricane Starang" and "Danjer", titled "Hurricane Danjer".
