TV One‘s award-winning documentary series UNSUNG begins its new season highlighting the journey of one R&B‘s most dynamic quartets with super-group Dru Hill on Sunday, February 23rd at 10 p.m. ET/9C. This comes on the heels of Dru Hill releasing their brand new single “What You Need.”
Four childhood friends from Baltimore – Sisqo, Nokio, Jazz, and Woody took the music industry by storm in the ’90s with a combination of old school vocal harmonies and effortless charisma. And when their debut album produced four top charting singles – “Tell Me”, “In My Bed”, “Never Make a Promise”, and “Five steps.”
Dru Hill positioned themselves as a group destined for major success. And they got an extra boost with the remarkable popularity of Sisqo‘s solo records. But despite a bounty of top ten hits, the group was bedeviled by clashes with their record label, one of which culminated in a public brawl, and internal problems within the group, including drug abuse and weight issues, which ultimately resulted in the departure of two members. For all that, Dru Hill keeps on keeping on, and remains one of the most beloved singing groups performing today.
In this Unsung episode, they tell the full story of their long and winding journey.
