"Busting down the doors of the 1990s hip-hop scene with a boisterous and largely sexual music style, the urban quartet Blackstreet waltzed right into the R&B realm, coining the term ""no diggity"" while establishing themselves as a new and wildly popular kind of ‘90s boy band. Blackstreet earned all sorts of fame in the group's musical heyday, scoring number one charting singles ""No Diggity"" and ""Don't Leave Me"" while also garnering a Grammy Award in the process.Formed by singer, producer and new jack swing leader Teddy Riley after the demise of his trio Guy, Blackstreet took roots with the enrollment of Chauncey ""Black"" Hannibal, Levi Little and Joe Stonestreet (who was replaced by Dave Hollister before the group released its first album). Blackstreet released their debut self-titled album in 1994, immediately popping up on the R&B charts with the hit single ""Before I Let You Go."" Other hit singles ""Booti Call"" and ""Joy"" catapulted Blackstreet into platinum-selling status, and along with two new band members came the 1996 follow-up album Another Level. The release carried Blackstreet's most memorable song ""No Diggity,"" propping the group up to celebrity status. Four weeks atop the pop charts and one Grammy later, Blackstreet continued onward with the hit single ""Don't Leave Me"" in 1997, also expanding their musical horizons with collaborations on Jay-Z's ""The City is Mine"" and Mya and Mase's ""Take Me There"" (from the Rugrats soundtrack).Despite the band's overwhelming domination on the hip-hop scene, the Blackstreet empire started to crumble in the late ‘90s when rifts between band members put a damper on the group's success. A long-running fight between Hannibal and Riley threatened Blackstreet's stability, and conflict with their label Interscope finally drove the nail in the coffin for the once-powerful R&B boy band. After taking a breather from Blackstreet, the band eventually reunited for one last hurrah, releasing the album Level II in 2003."
