Dru Hill took the music industry by storm in the 1990s, but after a string of hits including “In My Bed” and “How Deep Is Your Love,” the group began to fall apart.
The Baltimore-bred R&B quartet was made up of childhood friends Mark “Sisqó” Andrews, Tamir “Nokio” Ruffin, Larry “Jazz” Anthony and James “Woody Rock” Green.
Amid jealousy, clashes with their record label, drug abuse and weight issues, Dru Hill started to collapse, with Woody being the first to leave.

In a clip from the Feb. 23, 2020 episode of TV One’s Unsung, Sisqo said he was stunned by Woody’s departure.
“We’re at the top of our game. We got money in the bank. We got chart-topping singles. We just got off tour and it was traumatizing,” he explained.
Sisqo also talked about his decision to strike out on his own, and the success of his 1999 album Unleash the Dragon.
Following Woody’s exit, he said he went to the label and told executives, “I want to do a solo album.”
The album included the singles “Got to Get It,” “Incomplete,” and “Thong Song.” It sold more than five million copies, scored two top five hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and earned four Grammy nominations including best R&B album, according to Grammy.com.
Music documentary series Unsung is executive produced by A. Smith & Co. Productions’ Arthur Smith and Frank Sinton with executive producers Mark Rowland and Kysha Mounia. The new season premiered on Feb. 23 TV One.
