69 Boyz is one of the half-dozen bass-music production efforts headed by
C.C. Lemonhead and Jay Ski (of
Quad City DJ's and
95 South). The actual group, rappers Thill Van, Fast, Slow, and Rottweiler "Mike Mike," came together in Jacksonville, FL. After
Lemonhead and Jay Ski hit triple-platinum with 1993's "Whoot (There It Is)" as
95 South, they formed their own CeeJai Productions company and wrote and produced the single "Tootsee Roll" for
69 Boyz. The track hit the Top Ten of the R&B charts, and went double-platinum. The album
199Quad followed later that year, and also hit platinum. Second album
The Wait Is Over followed in 1998 and
2069 arrived two years later. ~ John Bush
