Dru Hill
Biography
High school friends Jazz, Sisqo, Nokio, and Woody formed Dru Hill in 1995, named in honor of their Baltimore neighborhood, Druid Hill Park. The rappers performed at the music-industry convention Impact '96 and were signed by Island not long after. By late 1996, Dru Hill had released its self-titled debut album, produced by Keith Sweat, Stanley Brown, and Tim "Dawg" Patterson. The single "Tell Me" -- culled from the soundtrack to the film Eddie -- became a Top Five R&B hit and later went gold. Enter the Dru followed in 1998, peaking at number two on the Billboard album chart. Despite Sisqo's solo success with "Thong Song," the group continued intact -- along with new member Skola -- and issued Dru World Order in 2002, two years after it was initially slated for release. The Hits compilation followed in 2005, eventually reaching three million in sales. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
