Description

R&B multi-platinum group Dru Hill is an American singing group, whose repertoire includes R&B, soul, and gospel music. Founded in Baltimore, Maryland, and active since 1992, Dru Hill recorded seven Top 40 hits, and is best known for the R&B #1 hits "In My Bed", "Never Make a Promise", and "How Deep Is Your Love". Tamir "Nokio" Ruffin was the group's founder; his bandmates included main lead singer Mark "Sisqó" Andrews, Larry "Jazz" Anthony, and James "Woody Rock" Green. Signing to Island Records through Haqq Islam's University Records imprint, Dru Hill released two successful LPs before separating for a period from late 1999 to 2002, during which time Sisqó and Woody released solo albums. Sisqó's Unleash the Dragon LP and its hit single "Thong Song" were major pop successes, and established Sisqó as a household name outside of Dru Hill.

After eight years, Dru Hill reunited and signed a new recording contract with Kedar Entertainment. Sisqo, Nokio, Jazz and new member Antwuan "Tao" Simpson (pronounced Tay-oh) are back, celebrating the release of their fourth CD offering, InDRUpendence Day.
