Dru Hill

Dru Hill are a contemporary R&B group from Baltimore, who had a string of hits in the 90s including “In My Bed”, “Never Make a Promise” and “How Deep is Your Love?”.

The group took their name from the Druid Hill Park area where they grew up, and it was there that they started singing together, to the visitors of the sweet manufacturers where they worked. They got their break performing at the Impact Convention where they drew the attention of Island Records.

Their debut album received a boost when the Whoopi Goldberg film Eddie used the track “Tell Me”. The track made the Top 5 of the R&B chart and helped take the album to gold sales. Another film, Rush Hour, helped with their follow-up album, when it used “How Deep is Your Love?”. The album went to the Top 5 of the album charts on its way to double platinum sales.

The band split between the second and third albums, but the time allowed the members to pursue solo projects. Each one released an album in a different genre. Nokio’s was hip–hop, Woody’s was gospel while Jazz made an R&B album, but it was Sisqó’s pop effort that made the most impact. The Unleash the Dragon album had three successful singles, including the chart-topping “Incomplete”, but it is the “Thong Song” for which Sisqó is most remembered around the world.

When Dru Hill did regroup they added a new member, and the quintet released their third album Dru World Order in 2002. Although the singles failed to sell as well as previous releases, the fans still took the album to platinum status.

Although there has been no official announcement of a split, the group members are all pursuing solo careers at present.
