Dru Hill is an American (United States) singing (singer) group, most popular during the late 1990s, whose repertoire included R&B (Contemporary R&B), soul (soul music), and gospel music. Founded in Baltimore, Maryland, and active since 1992, Dru Hill recorded seven Top 40 hits, and is best known for the R&B #1 hits "In My Bed", "Never Make a Promise", and "How Deep Is Your Love (How Deep Is Your Love (Dru Hill song))". Tamir "Nokio" Ruffin (Nokio the N-Tity) was the groups founder; his bandmates included main lead singer Mark "Sisq�" Andrews (Sisq�), Larry "Jazz" Anthony, and James "Woody Rock" Green (Woody Rock). Signing to Island Records through Haqq Islams University Records imprint, Dru Hill released two successful LPs before separating for a period from late 1999 to 2002, during which time Sisq� and Woody released solo albums. While Woodys Soul Music LP was a moderate success in the gospel music industry, Sisq�s Unleash the Dragon LP and its hit single "Thong Song" were major pop successes, and established Sisq� as a household name outside of Dru Hill.

In 2002, by then part of the Def Soul (Def Jam Recordings) record label, the group reunited and added fifth member Rufus "Scola" Waller to the lineup for their third album, Dru World Order.
