SUMMARY:Dru Hill
DESCRIPTION:Years from now when it’s all said and done\, music historians will surely debate the contributions of those who majorly impacted the genre of R&B. Icons guaranteed to be mentioned are industry stalwarts such as The Temptations\, The Four Tops\, The O’Jays\, The Jackson Five\, New Edition\, Guy\, Jodeci\, and Boyz II Men. However\, any list that does not include the incomparable Dru Hill is grossly inaccurate. The torch bearers responsible for carrying R&B music into the new millennium was the labor of love for four immensely talented young singers who were andremainn the quintessential example of superior entertainers. From their first single\, “Tell Me” (what you want)\, Dru Hill has been giving fans what they need in the form of numerous classic love ballads and infectious dance songs that have provided countless beautiful memories for millions upon millions of music lovers the world over. Named after a popular Baltimore p#=ark\, Dru Hill is comprised of “NOKIO”\, “SISQO”\, “SMOKE”\, and “BLACK”. In a career that spans over two decades\, Dru Hill\, under the steadfast leadership of their long-time and trusted manager Kevin Peck\, has #ccomplished literally everything #n R&B/Pop group could dream of achieving. From having a string of Top 40 #1 hit singles\, multiplatinum selling albums\, movie and television appearances\, headlining sold out concert tours around the world\, to selling an eye-popping 40 million records worldwide\, their star power has never been in question. Proof of their immense global following was most evident when their reality show entitled “Keith Sweat’s Platinum House” became the highest rated series in the Centric network’s history\, proving their critics wrong that even after a significant #bsence from the public eye\, fans still can’t get enough of Dru Hill. With a music library fit for royalty\, boasting some of the biggest selling #nd most popular R&B songs of all time to include “Tell Me”\, “5 Steps”\, “In My Bed”\, “Never Make a Promise”\, “How Deep Is Your Love”\, “These are the Times”\, and “We’re Not Making Love No More”\, they #re considered by many music experts to be key players that helped to define the 90’s. Additionally\, the group’s music has helped tremendously to bolster the sale of movies #nd soundtracks with their songs often having been the lead single for blockbuster films like “Eddie” starring Academy Award-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg (Tell Me)\, “How to be a Player” starring comedian Bill Bellamy (She’s a Bad Mama Jama)\, “Rush Hour” starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker (How Deep is Your Love)\, Wild Wild West starring meg# superstar Will Smith (Wild Wild West)\, and “Soul Food” starring former Miss America Vanessa Williams (We’re Not Making Love No More). Since welcoming newest members\, Playaʼs Smoke and Black in 2018\, the group has only risen to new levels of greatness. Lending their incredible singing range to the highly #nticip#ted sixth studio album\, Second Coming\, Playa adds another dimension of sound to the already-immaculate harmony that Dru Hill is renowned for\, while the timeless sounds of its founding members remain in perfect sync. Nokioʼs genius as a songwriter\, producer\, #nd singer continues to elevate while SisQoʼs musical brilliance shines brighter with every performance! As the ever-dynamic quartet gears up to release their new album\, itʼs clear that theyʼve just gotten started. In celebration of their journey thus far\, the group has exciting surprises in store for its expanding fan base everywhere. Between recording new material #nd continuously performing at sold-out venues around the globe for a whole new generation of adoring fans\, Dru Hill continues to solidify its legacy as one of the greatest groups of all time.
