[edit] Musical Career

Signed to LaFace Records, they are best known for singles such as "U-Way" (1999) and "85 South" (2000), featuring Big Boi of OutKast and Chris Streng.

After a two year absence they returned with "Cadillac Pimpin'," scoring a moderate hit. But the duo achieved a major hit with "Damn!" produced by Lil' Jon.

After three years they returned with "Datz Me" featuring Young Buck of G-Unit and another Lil' Jon produced hit "Presidential". They have recently released their second single, "Chop Chop", from their 3rd album Ev'rybody Know Me which is produced by Scott Storch.

They were arrested on June 1, 2006 on drugs and weapons charges in Atlanta together with members of their entourage. Sean Paul made an appearance in Cherish's "Do It To It," Sammie's "You Should Be My Girl," and Lil Jon's "Snap Yo Fingers" with E-40. Sean Paul is rumored to be signing as a solo artist, with Diplomat Records as part of their new Dipset South Records.

They are currently working on their fourth studio album. The first single titled "Whole Lotta Ass" will be released to radio in late October of 2006. The track will feature Jacki-O and Busta Rhymes.
