The JUNO Award-winning recording artist’s track commands your attention with a punchy bass line and lyrics about boys stepping their game up, being busy and booked every day of the week, and not being a nice girl. The new banger made for the dancefloor is out now through The Final Boss. It’s so New York City ballroom-friendly.

    Dru Hill, one of the most exciting R&B groups from the early 00s, will start their extensive tour in North America, in celebration of their twenty-fifth anniversary. Furthermore, the press release explains, “Over the last 25+ years, Dru Hill has received multiple awards, performed across the world, topped the Billboard Music charts multiple times, and has sold over 40 million records worldwide. Recording new material and continuously performing at sold-out venues around the globe, Dru Hill continues to solidify its legacy as one of the greatest groups of all time. Most recently, Dru Hill was the recipient of the Urban Music Icon Award presented by Black Music Honors.

    Founded in 1992 as “14K Harmony”, the group, discovered by manager Kevin Peck, evolved to become Dru Hill in 1996, engraving itself into the legacy of R&B music and bringing a dynamic sound to the ever-changing industry. Known for hits like ‘Tell Me’, ‘In My Bed’, ‘Never Make a Promise’, and ‘How Deep Is Your Love’, the group has given the world music for the ages.”

Alongside founding members SisQo, Nokio, Jazz, and the latest additions Smoke and Black from the R&B group Playa, former member Scola rejoins the dynamic lineup.
