That same year, Brown teamed with Harrell to make "Genius Rap", a well-received record which was one of the first hip-hop records to use a sample of Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love". The pair ended their professional relationship in 1987, but Mr. Hyde continued recording with Profile Records, recording the solo 12", "The Witch" b/w "Hyde's Beat". After the group's demise, Harrell became the founder and chief executive officer of Uptown Records. He later went on to head Motown Records. Brown went on to become a producer and screenwriter, serving as executive producer for the Judge Mathis television show.
