Naughty By Nature

They've created infectious, chart-topping party anthems and unleashed gritty, grimy manifestos. They've toured the world and reigned as international superstars but still live in the city they grew up in. They've dominated the pop and R&B charts, all the while staying true to real hip-hop and themselves.

Naughty By Nature are arguably hip-hop's finest group and unquestionably one of its most beloved. Since the top of the decade, the Jersey based trio has enjoyed three platinum cds, numerous gold and platinum singles, won a Grammy and helped bring hip hop culture to a whole new audience. Yet, despite all the hip hop hooray, you haven't really heard Naughty By Nature 'til right now; until their long awaited Artist Records debut 19Naughty9: Nature's Fury.

After a nearly four year hiatus Naughty By nature are rejuvenated and ready to show their fans what hip hop is. "This album is eight years down the line from (their 1991 debut) Naughty By Nature but at the same time, it's brand new," declares Treach." It's like we have our chemistry and energy all in line. 19Naughty9: Nature's Fury is like the first record. Ever."

From their years as New Style rocking Jersey talent shows to their platinum smashes like "O.P.P." and "Hip Hop Hooray" from their trend setting style to their groundbreaking appeal, Naughty By Nature have redefined what hip hop can be. In the process they've emerged not just as pioneers, but as true stars. At a time when "artists" are cooked up by a marketing department, Naughty By Nature have earned the respect of the community by working hard, keeping the faith and most importantly coming with dope shit.
