American R&B group formed in Minneapolis in 1992. Lineup: brothers Robert "R.L." Huggar and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, plus Terry "T-Low" Brown. Distinguished by their explicit-but-smooth grown-and-sexy R&B style.
Four studio albums between Rated Next (1997) and The Next Episode (2007). Commercial peak: Rated Next (featuring the diamond-certified "Too Close"), which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks in 1998. R.L. has subsequently pursued a solo career.
