Ren�e Neufville and Jean Norris�were the first artists to sign to Jazzy Jeff’s�A Touch of Jazz production company�and met while�in school at Temple University.�The two eventually linked with Benny Medina, who convinced them to form a songwriting duo. After linking with Naughty by Nature member Kay Gee, the duo created one of the greatest hip-hop anthems with�”Hey, Mr. D.J.” in 1993; it hit No. 6 on the�Billboard�Hot 100 and earned them a contract with Motown Records. Their platinum-selling debut,�Pronounced Jah-Nay,�also includes the smash hits “Groove Thang” and “Sending My Love.”
“I’m grateful to know that once my soul leaves the physical body, the music will outlive all of us,” Renee Neufville told�Wax Poetics�in 2014. “It’s one of the biggest gifts I could ever imagine receiving because life is so short. This is the legacy we’ve left behind. We came up in a time when classic music was being made. Not just hit records, but records that will be played forever.”
