Artist:69 Boyz
Song:Tootsee Roll
Album:Greatest Hits
The single Tootsee Roll was a top ten pop hit in 1994 for the rap duo 69 Boyz. It topped the rap charts. Some of their other singles charted but this was their biggest hit. I guess that's why there is a greatest hits CD. It should remind you of the 1993 hit single Whoot, There It Is by 95 South. Tootsee Roll charted higher. Both singles were produced by Quad City DJs from Jacksonville, FL. They are Johnny "Jay Ski" McGowan and Nathaniel "C.C. Lemonhead" Orange. They started out in the late 80s as Chill Deal and called themselves 95 South to release Whoot, There It Is. After that was a success, they were looking for other acts to produce. 69 Boyz consisting of Van "Thrill Da Playa" Bryant and Barry "Fast" Wright fit the bill perfectly. Quad City DJs produced 69 Boyz' debut album 199Quad and Tootsee Roll reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Rap chart. And as I said, Tootsee Roll sounds a lot like Whoot, There It Is. 69 Boyz recorded four albums and continued to have success on the rap charts. The final album was in 2001. The members of Quad City DJs and associated acts are still around but they had their time in the sun. Here's the video for Tootsee Roll by 69 Boyz.
