Their first single, "The Swang", achieved popular local radio play in Los Angeles on 92.3 The Beat and went on to #1 on the stations popular 4 play at 4 segment that showcased up and coming local artists. After the song gained popularity, a bidding war between Virgin Records, Giant, and MCA Records took place with MCA coming out the best choice for the group. Upon signing to MCA, they achieved greater commercial success with their next single, "I'd Rather Be Alone", which reached #44 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Top 40 status on the R&B charts. The follow-up, "From the Fool", made #95 on the R&B charts. They released an album, For Example, and toured Japan, Australia, Canada and elsewhere. Soon afterwards however, Bobby Chevis left the group for a solo career. His recording "Why-Oh-Why", under the name 'B.C.', was a Billboard Hot 100 pop hit in 1999. The group then split up, with Andre "Dre" Allen later having success as a performer, releasing three solo albums for Tommy Boy Records and his own label Movemakers Entertainment. He also worked as a songwriter, producer and director writing for artists such as Outkast, Master P, Lil Romeo, Babyface, Montell Jordan, En Vogue, Will Downing and Jesse Powell. (en)
