THE NEW JACK R&B GROUP BASIC BLACK IS MAKING A COME BACK NEW SINGLE "SO SEXY"

BHR HOLLYWOOD REPORTS..........  If you did know now you know!!!! Basic Black started out in the Industry as the R&B group Today back up band and after signing with Gene Griffin Label everything else is history.

"We met Gene in Columbus. We, at the time, were a cover band, and got wind that Guy and Today were performing in Columbus. Since we were the hottest band in Columbus, we were asked to open up for that Guy show. Once at the show, we noticed that the group Today were performing to a track.

 That was our in! Let’s be Today’s back up band. We met Guy, Gene and Today that night, and we exchanged numbers. Then we found out that Gene’s mother lived in Columbus, so we searched and found out where she lived. So, we would ride by Gene’s mother every day looking for some type of sports car in the driveway. One day we pulled up and we saw this BMW with nice rims and a New York license plate.

 We knew that was Gene, so we waited hours until he finally came out of the house and we walked up to him and said, “Hey do you remember us,” and he did! Eventually, he said if we ever get to New York he would give us a job. A few months later, we went to New York and Gene kept true to his word . We became the back up band for the group Today. Long story short, Gene and Teddy split ways and we stuck with Gene. He knew we always wanted our own record deal, so he said get some music together and we signed to Gene’s label, S.O.N.Y. Sounds Of New York. Then, that deal went to Motown."   


We ask the group about the break up as they mentioned, "K.B. and Spec went on to sign to Dallas Austin as producers, as well as Jermaine Dupri. Producing artists such as Whitney Houston, Missy Elliott and Too $hort, to name a few. Mucho signed to Teddy Riley, and started producing for artists like MC Lyte, Michael Jackson and tons more. Dezo went on the road as a background singer with Justin Timberlake." and this is the reason for the group to disband, we were on the road doing shows and hearing our music on multiple radio stations, seeing our videos, etcetera, but the financial aspect just wasn’t adding up.

 We were pretty much broke! So as a group decision, we decided that we would leave Gene and find a new deal. But that process was an uphill battle. Since we produced our own music, we decided to produce for other artists. Spec and K.B. formed a production company, and Mucho started producing and Dezo went on the road with Justin Timberlake. We all still kept in touch, but never decided to record back as Basic Black. It kind of phased out because we all got busy with other projects.

 Now time has past and we all are getting older its time to get back at it.  As producers and writers, we have evolved tremendously. We realize that change will come and is good, but we can still add our longevity of music knowledge to the current sate of music. So in saying that, expect great R&B vocals…harmonies mixed with the new wave of music (that) is currently at the forefront of the music business. We want to reach all listeners, and that we are accomplishing (with) this new project. You will feel the turn and growth of Basic Black.
