Original Freedom Fighters were founded at the local sports hall. The youths of Bazel and Kruibeke used to come together there for playin some football, seduce some girls or just lay back and smoke a spliff, laugh and skylark with some friends. Always lookin out for them pigs tryin to rob the youth from their herbs...

As said before, Enge en Oli were two best friends, as they call inseperable. The two dreadlockers started their own soundsystem in 1998 as "Freedom Fighters". After learning that their was another "freedomfighter crew" in Brussels, the two soundboys changed the name in "Original Freedom Fighters". The young soundsystem was active in Kruibeke, Bazel, Burch, Zwijndrecht and Antwerp. The sound was growin, the two boys got the looks and the skills. Unforunately for the Original Fighters, Oliman got to hear in 2001 that he suffered an aggressive cancer. From then on, Original Freedom Fighters was down for 2 years. Olimantado died on 8 december 2003.
