Blackstreet

Blackstreet was an American R&B and soul group founded in 1994 (see 1994 in music) by Teddy Riler[?], a New Jack Swing[?] pioneer known for his work as a member of Guy[?]. Their debut, Blackstreet[?], was a moderate success due to singles like "Before I Let You Go". The follow-up, 1996's Another Level[?] (see 1996 in music) was a breakthrough success due to the top single "No Diggity" (with Dr. Dre). It won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Vocal by a Duo or Group[?] and went four times platinum in the United States. Personnel shifts wracked the group and contributed to the relative failure of Finally[?] (1999, 1999 in music) and Blackstreet soon broke up. After rumors of legal action and a preemptive countersuit, the group disbanded and released Level II[?] in 2003 (see 2003 in music).
