Really? Bringing it back? What was the first one? It’s good to see a group bringing puns back to R&B. He’s the one who came up with the next album title: Sex, Dru and Rock & Roll. It’s my job to take care of the stage show and Nokio takes care of the puns. What were some rejected “dru”-related puns? In 2002, Dru Hill released Dru World Order. If you could actually sing to a girl while selling fudge in an all-white uniform, that was a challenge. If you could make that cool, and we did, it was the first lesson in show business. That sounds like you’re trying to take the Hershey Highway.ĭude, selling fudge is not the coolest thing in the world. Instead of singing Jodeci’s “Forever My Lady,” we’d say “Forever the Fudgery.”
We would sing stuff like Stevie Wonder‘s “Isn’t She Lovely,” but throw fudge in there like, “Isn’t Fudge Lovely” just to make it seem like we were working. Yeah, see I was a businessman even then because I got us all jobs at the Fudgery, and because we had to sing, we used to utilize that work time for rehearsal and we would get paid. So if I’m a 10-year-old looking for fudge, I would walk in and see you singing? Why?įudgery Fudge was a minimum-wage job that we had in Baltimore before we got into the music industry, where you make this candy and sing songs simultaneously. The affable singer discussed some of his more unusual career highlights.ĭru Hill is listed on the website of the fudge chain the Fudgery. Sisqo, meanwhile, is prepping the January release of solo album Last Dragon, his first in 14 years, with a pair of singles: the club-friendly “A-List” with Waka Flocka Flame and bedroom ballad “Lips.” After multiple splits, including a bizarre live-radio breakup minutes after reuniting (more on that later), Dru Hill seem to have reconciled their differences. Those who have long moved past the singer’s ubiquitous hit may be surprised to see Sisqo, who’s kept the celebrity machine going by appearing on numerous reality shows, mounting a comeback. It would eventually hit Number Three on the Billboard Top 100, and it remains an indelible turn-of-the-century aural capsule, a perpetual soundtrack to our collective spring break. After releasing two albums with his group Dru Hill – 1996’s eponymous debut and 1998’s Enter the Dru – the singer became a household name for 2000’s “Thong Song,” the second single off his debut album, Unleash the Dragon. “I haven’t spoken to Rolling Stone in 14 years,” Sisqo says jovially, by way of introduction.
