Celebrate Black Music Month with a new documentary on one of our favorites Troop.
Directed by Rayce R. Denton, “Troop: Five of a Kind” is streaming now on ALLBLK. “Troop: Five of a Kind” is a spellbinding cinematic experience that encapsulates the essence of Troop‘s musical journey.
Troop was without a doubt one of the baddest R&B groups in the 80s/90s.
The group had the whole package, singers who could actually sing and harmonize, on top of dancing and hitting top chorography in their videos, not to mention Steve and Allen were beasts with their pen games. Writing and producing some of the groups biggest hits.
It’s the real story of what happened, behind the scenes of Troop.
Featuring appearances by; Steven Ivory, Shanice, PJ Butta, Ms. Shirley Benford, Chuckii Booker, Flex Alexander, Darius McCrary and Jon B.
UB spoke to Steven in 2014 and he shared how TROOP got started; “We’re all from Pasadena, California and once we put the group together we went on a show called ‘Puttin’ On The Hits.’ We performed New Edition and that’s how the group got discovered. So once we put all of the members together, we signed with a production company that introduced us to Atlantic and that’s how we auditioned for them and got signed in 1986.”
