Group member James "Woody Rock" Green would leave the group soon after the release of the album to pursue a career as a gospel musician. The album was recorded over a three-week span at Larabee Studios in Los Angeles, California during the early months of 1998. Nokio does not perform solo on any songs but he does get more lead vocals than on the previous album. Jazz performs solo on "Holding You" and "I'll Be the One". The songs on the album are mainly performed by lead singer, Sisqó, who performs solo on four songs: "Real Freak", "How Deep Is Your Love", "This Is What We Do" and "One Good Reason". In May 1999, it was certified double-platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), after sales exceeding 2,000,000 copies in the United States. The album peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 chart. Recording sessions for the album took place at Larabee Studios in Los Angeles, California. The remix version was featured on lead singer Sisqó's debut album, Unleash the Dragon. The singles all had music videos released, but the music video for "You Are Everything" was a remix video, which featured rapper Ja Rule, and Woody did not appear in it due to his exit from the group in early 1999. It released three singles "How Deep Is Your Love", "These Are The Times" and "You Are Everything". This is the first album that the group were credited as executive producers as all four members wrote and produced several of the songs. The album's name comes from Bruce Lee's film, Enter the Dragon. Album DescriptionEnter the Dru is the second studio album from American R&B group Dru Hill, released Octoon Island Records. See More Your browser does not support the audio element. Even when they get all warm and cozy with Babyface on the potentially mushy "These Are the Times" (in spite the absurdity of the straight-faced line "Tear you up in little pieces/Swallow you like Reese's Pieces"), Dru Hill slice into the section of '90s soul music that crosses bedroom come-ons with classic street savvy (and nervy beats) without sounding at all whipped. There's a gutsy edge to the songs here (especially the hard-knocking "How Deep Is Your Love") that make one-time peers like Boyz II Men sound like the soulless R&B robots they are. And for a good deal of Enter the Dru, the formula works. The best of the late-'90s R&B crooning quartets ups the musical ante on their sophomore album, lacing the silky-smooth grooves with splashes of street-tough shouts that are meant to antagonize as much as they are to seduce.
