R&B and rap group D.R.S., short for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, forms in Sacramento, California, with members Jail Bait, Endo, Deuce Deuce, Pic and Ejay Blunt Turner. The quintet, discovered by The Whole 9 production team, signs a contract with Roll Wit It, distributed by Capitol Records. The group's biggest hit - and almost the only one - remains "Gangsta Lean", which spent six weeks at the top of the R&B charts and reached #4 on the Billboard Singles chart in early 1994. Selling 2.5 million copies, the song became famous as far away as Japan, and its video clip racked up millions of views. The album released at the end of 1993 reached no. 34 on the Billboard 200 and no. 6 on the R&B charts. In addition to a cover of Prince's "Do Me, Baby", it included D.R.S.'s much more minor hit "Skoundrels Get Lonely" (No. 87 on the R&B charts in 1995).
