Partners in Kryme: Where are they now?

For some reason I was thinking about the original Ninja Turtles movie. When it came out, it easily became my favorite movie of all time. I even had the soundtrack on audio tape which contained the rap classic "Turtle Power" by the duo Partners in Kryme. They were so badass, they didn't even spell 'crime' correctly. The low rent channel in Anchorage used to play music videos back in the early 1990s and I got very excited when the music video for "Turtle Power" was played. Reading about the song on its Wikipedia entry, I remember that the video infamously labeled Raphael the leader of the Ninja Turtles, not Leonardo, in one of its lyrics. Why question is, what happened to these pioneers of rap?
