Career
Their album Stop the World was released on the Supreme record label and entered the UK Albums Chart on 22 April 1989, where it reached the No. 72 position. However, it only stayed on the charts for one week. Though its videos were featured on Yo! MTV Raps, the group failed to garner much national interest in the early days of new jack swing, and disbanded in 1991. Although relatively unknown, the group achieved renewed interest on eBay when a track of theirs appeared on rapper Edan's mixtape, Fast Rap. The group is name-checked in Nas' "A Queens Story".[1][2]
