Naughty By Nature is a legendary hip hop trio that was founded in 1986 in East Orange, New Jersey, USA. With their unique blend of catchy beats and thought-provoking lyrics, they quickly rose to fame and became one of the most influential groups in the genre. Active until 2002, Naughty By Nature took a break before reforming in 2006 to continue creating music that resonates with fans around the world.

Their sound has been compared to other iconic artists such as Big Daddy Kane, Craig Mack, and Eric B. & Rakim. Known for their energetic performances and charismatic stage presence, Naughty By Nature has captivated audiences with hits like "O.P.P." and "Hip Hop Hooray". Their music effortlessly combines elements of rap, R&B, and funk to create a sound that is uniquely their own.

With a discography spanning several decades, Naughty By Nature has left an indelible mark on the music industry. Their influence can be heard in the work of artists such as Boogie Down Productions, Slick Rick, and Brand Nubian. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their music, exploring Naughty By Nature's catalog is sure to be an enjoyable journey through the evolution of hip hop.

Despite an excellent debut album, "Naughty By Nature" was pegged as a one-hit wonder by some, after all, they'd never duplicate the inescapably catchy "O.P.P.". But when 19 Naughty III was released on February 23, 1993 with the lead single "Hip Hop Hooray, " the group proved that they could recreate that magic. Celebrating it's 30th Anniversary this year, the album has been certified platinum and "Hip Hop Hooray" has become a hip hop anthem. The single was #1 on the charts, earning the band their second Top 10 hit, with the video directed by Spike Lee, featuring appearances from Tupac Shakur, Run-DMC and more. The album also contains the hits "Written on Ya Kitten" and "It's On" and has guest appearances from Heavy D and Queen Latifah. Production was handled entirely by group member KayGee, who has one foot in the clubs and the other one on the street corner, and that's true of the group as a whole.
