History

The group was assembled by Jermaine Durpi. In an interview with the Boombox "As far as the name of the group it was something that we just accidentally [started] doing by hanging out and working together.[3] Together Dupri and Michael-Cox were in Las Vegas working on the Here I Stand album for Usher and after they would record they would get dressed up often wearing Tom Ford and going to clubs. Dupri noticed restaurants began treating them differently because they were all dressed up. Dupri on his video blog Living The Life on Youtube he would record and release episodes of the group in the studio often going out on the town, being in the recording studio and other times talking about life topics. The group started as the Ocean's 5 eventually adding Nelly and Trey Songz to the group they became the Ocean's 7. A visiting member of the group included rapper Bow Wow.
