They are known for their 1992 single "Rump Shaker", which peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.[1]

History

Template:Blpsources In 1988, childhood friends Aqil Davidson, Markell Riley and Brandon "B-Doggs" Mitchell formed Wrecks-n-Effect. Their production company wanted to trial adding a fourth member to the group, therefore Keith "K.C." Hanns joined the trio while their demo was being made. In 1988, with Atlantic Records, the group debuted their self-titled EP with Hanns as the fourth member. Following little recognition for their debut EP, Davidson, Riley and Mitchell reconvened their initial vision as a trio later that year.[2] Soon after, in 1989, the group switched to Motown Records. They achieved their first number one song on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart with the single "New Jack Swing" in 1989.[3]

In 1990, Mitchell was fatally shot in Manhattan, New York City.[4] Following his death, the group changed their named to Wreckx-n-Effect.[5]

In 1991, Teddy Riley, brother of Markell Riley, created Future Recording Studios, a multi-million dollar recording studio in Virginia Beach, VA. Among the first records produced at Future Recording Studios, was Wreckx-n-Effect's 1992 club smash "Rump Shaker", which would go on to reach number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.[6]

Conrad Tillard, also known as the Hip Hop Minister and Conrad Muhammad, became a fixture in hip-hop in 1993 after he arranged a truce between feuding rising bands Wreckx-n-Effect and A Tribe Called Quest, that Tillard said threatened to turn Harlem into a "war zone".[7][8][9][10][11]

In 2004, "New Jack Swing" was added to the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
