Naughty By Nature: Hip Hop Hooray
Manage episode 356273875 series 2963472
On this episode, we're diving into the world of one of the most legendary hip-hop groups ever: Naughty By Nature. Formed in East Orange, New Jersey in the late 1980s, the trio of Treach, Vin Rock, and DJ Kay Gee came onto the scene as The New Style with their debut album, "Independent Leaders," in 1989.
With their high-energy performances and infectious production, Naughty By Nature quickly became one of the most popular acts not only in hip hop, but pop music as well. Hit singles like "O.P.P.," "Uptown Anthem," and "Hip Hop Hooray" were instant classics and helped to solidify their place as hip-hop legends.
From their humble beginnings to their meteoric rise to fame in the 90s, Naughty By Nature have left an indelible mark on pop culture. So join us as we celebrate one of the greatest hip-hop groups of all time!
