Label : Pop Art Records
The group entered hip-hop at a time when
rap music was believed to be a fad and record companies were reluctant to sign rap artists. Originally calling themselves as Super Nature (on their first single), James and Denton debuted in 1985 with the single
"The Showstopper", an answer record to Doug E. Fresh's hit single "The Show".
"The Showstopper" was produced by Hurby Azor. The song utilized a melody from the 1984 Revenge of the Nerds. The finish recording garnered some airplay on the New York City rap radio program. The Independent Pop Art Records gave it an official release, and
"The Showstopper" became a modest R&B hit. (according to
