High school friends Jazz, Sisqo, Nokio, and Woody formed Dru Hill in 1995, named in honor of their Baltimore neighborhood, Druid Hill Park. The rappers performed at the music-industry convention ~Impact '96 and were signed by Island not long after. By late 1996, Dru Hill had released its self-titled debut album, produced by Keith Sweat, Stanley Brown, and Tim "Dawg" Patterson. The single "Tell Me" -- culled from the soundtrack to the film #Eddie -- became a Top Five R&B hit and later went gold. Enter the Dru followed in 1998, peaking at number two on the ~Billboard album chart. Despite Sisqo's solo success with "Thong Song," the group continued intact -- along with new member Skola -- and issued Dru World Order in 2002, two years after it was initially slated for release. The Hits compilation followed in 2005, eventually reaching three million in sales.
