The story began to unfurl in Jacksonville,
Florida in 1994 with a
triumvirate. They
called themselves Van, Thrill
Da Playa and Bryant, the
king of bass. And, production contributions from
95 South and C.C.
Lemonhead gave rise to the platinum single
"Tootsee Roll.".
"Tootsee Roll" registered as a #1 hit on the
Billboard and Hot Rap
charts in 1994, and earned top 10 status on both
the Hot R&B and Hot 100
charts. It spent 38 weeks on each. The song
brought 69 Boyz enduring
recognition for their bass sound.
The 69 Boyz have also contributed tracks to
promotion picture
soundtracks, including the gold-certified Bad
Boys album, with "Five-0,
Five-0" and the platinum certified soundtrack to
Sunset Park, with "Hoop N
Yo Face."
Today, the 69 Boyz seek to preserve their
reputation as 1990-era bass
pioneers. They do not achieve this by resting on
the laurels of yesterday.
Rather, the group's members are interested in
taking their music to the next
level.
