No Face was a New York City-based rap duo active in the early 1990s, known for their outrageous, obscene lyrics. Their music became very controversial because of how over-the-top and obscene it was, with most radio programmers, including black ones, refusing to play even censored versions of their songs. The duo's members were Mark Sexx and the Shah. They released only one studio album, Wake Your Daughter Up, which was released in 1990 on No Face Records, a label affiliated with Russell Simmons' Rush Associated Labels. The album was distributed by both Def Jam Recordings and Columbia Records. The album featured the song "Fake Hair Wearin' Bitch", which featured 2 Live Crew. In 1994, they released the single "No Brothas Allowed". The group's only hit, "Half", was released as a single from Wake Your Daughter Up and peaked at #47 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

Jon Pareles gave Wake Your Daughter Up a very negative review in the New York Times, writing, "Any two teen-age boys with a drum machine could make a better album than this inept, calculating attempt to ride the 2 Live Crew bandwagon."The Chicago Tribune's Greg Kot was more favorable, giving the album 2.5 out of 4 stars and writing that it "is funkier, funnier and far more inventive than anything on As Nasty as They Wanna Be."
