The project certified them as one of the top group’s of the 90’s and featured the standout singles “Tell Me”, “In My Bed”, “Never Make a Promise”, and “5 Steps”. There is no disputing that the self titled debut album from Dru Hill is a classic. In case you missed it, he recently released his only solo project called “While We’re Going Crazy – Part 1”.Īpril Showers (from the “Dru Hill” album) We feel that these songs could have also had a strong impact had they also been selected.Īs an added bonus, we got in touch with founding member Nokio who gave us his picks as well. You can’t argue with the hits they’ve had over the years. For the purpose of this article, we scoured each of their four albums “Dru Hill”, “Enter the Dru”, “Dru World Order”, and “InDRUpendence Day” to find gems which could have been hits.Īs a disclaimer, this is not to say we necessarily disagree with any of the songs that were chosen by the group.

The songwriting tends to similar themes, as do the songs themselves, but having the most polished harmonies on the R&B block makes Dru Hill capable of smoothing over any of the rough spots on Dru World Order. The single "I Should Be." is solid, if a little in the line of standard material for them, but "On Me" (featuring N.O.R.E.) and "Old Love" are two of the most inspired songs they've ever recorded.
