INFORMATION ABOUT BLACKSTREET (RHYTHM & BLUES MUSIC GROUP)
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstreet
"Blackstreet (often stylized as BLACKstreet) is an American R&B group founded in 1991 by Virginia Beach, Virginia-based record producers Chauncey "Black" Hannibal, Joseph "Street" Stonestreet, and Teddy Riley. The group released four albums with Interscope Records between 1994 and 2003. 

[…]

Their debut album, Blackstreet, featured the hit singles "Baby Be Mine" "Booti Call", "Before I Let You Go" and "Joy".[3] "Baby Be Mine", "Booti Call" and "Before I Let You Go" were all Top 40 hits, with "Before I Let You Go" hitting the Top 10. In 1996, they released their second album Another Level. It was a breakthrough success due to the top single "No Diggity" (with Dr. Dre), which was a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1996. In 1998, Blackstreet won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.[3]

[…]

After several failed attempts to keep Blackstreet together, all members eventually continued with solo careers for a time. However, in 2014, it was announced that past members Black, Little, Middleton, and Williams were back together under the Blackstreet moniker. They continue to perform with this lineup currently, and embarked on their second Australian tour in April 2015.[9]”…
