Da Band - Definition and Overview

Now known officially as Bad Boy's Da Band. This hip-hop group consists of the winners of season two of the MTV reality show, Making the Band, created by rap mogul P. Diddy. The show's prize included the opportunity to be featured on P. Diddy's label, Bad Boy Records.

Members

The six members are:

• Sara Stokes, a Detroit, Michigan R&B singer
• Dylan John, a Brooklyn reggae rapper
• Rodney "Young City" Hill (formerly known as Chopper), a New Orleans, Louisiana MC
• Lynese "Babs Bunny" Wiley, a Brooklyn MC
• Lloyn "Ness" Mathis, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania MC
• Freddrick "Freddy P" Watson, a Miami, Florida MC

History

Their debut album, Too Hot for TV was released in September of 2003. It describes the constant drama and excitement as featured on the first season of Making the Band, such as Sara's fitting in with the group since she was the only singer, Chopper's childish behavior, and Dylan's absences and missing shows.

But the shocking news came for Da Band as people saw on the 3rd season of Making the Band when P. Diddy fired Da Band on the season finale he had kicked Dylan out of the group before he fired the rest of the group and Fred just said that he wanted himself cut. But Diddy still wanted to work with Babs and Ness and gave Chopper another chance as a solo artist. It may have been over for Da Band but it wasn't over for their careers.

Their followup album Too Hot for TV 2 is expected to be released soon.
