II D Extreme (D'Extra Wiley, Randy Gill (Johnny Gill's Brother), and Jermaine Mickey) combines hip-hop production with 1970s soul (Donny Hathaway, L.T.D.), which falls, without doubt, into the New Jack Swing category, at times. Their self-titled debut produced three hits; the lead single "Cry No More," which features Erik Lil Rick White (Keyboards, Programming, Producer, Engineer) and Kevin "K-Jack" Jackson, the second single "Up On The Roof," which is a cover of The Drifters early sixties hit, shows the three vocals in top knotch form, and follow-up third single "Let Me Love You," was produced by The Funky Descendant Hami. The three would go on and have a farely successful career, contributing to 1994's Blankman Soundtrack (did a cover of the Spinners "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love") with Patra, and in 1996 releasing their second album titled, From I Extreme II Another.

I love Up On the Roof! My friends and I think it's one of the best songs ever written. II D Extreme provides some great music for whatever mood you're in. It's good stuff!

YOU GUYS SENT ME THE WRONG CD! THE CD THAT YOU SENT ME WAS "From I Extreme II Another" BY THE SAME ARTIST. PLEASE SEND ME A RETURN AUTHORIZATION SO I CAN RETURN THE CD THAT YOU SENT ME AND SEND ME THE RIGHT CD THAT I ORDERED "II D Extreme" BY THE ARTIST II D Extreme.

I was so excited to even find this CD!!! I used to love this group as a teen and it was so exciting to get the product, I didn't have any issues!

II D Extreme featured three extremly talented brothers who blew up with their single Cry No More. Unlike many New Jack Swing groups of the early nineties II D Extreme had their strongest material in the form of ballads. Give this one a listen for old times sake.
