The group was originally a quartet featuring the Grinstead sisters, which included identical twins Irish and Orish, (born June 2, 1980), their older sister LeMisha (born June 10, 1978), and their cousin Amelia Cruz whom they debuted as featured artists on Subway's hit single "This Lil' Game We Play".
Amelia Cruz removed herself from the group for unknown reasons shortly after the release of that. Their close friend Kameelah Williams joined the group and replaced her, which at that point, they signed an album deal with Motown records. During production of their debut album,
Orish Grinstead withdrew herself from the group for undisclosed reasons, even though her vocals are heard on the album.
Continuing as a trio, they released their debut single "
Steelo" with great success.
Their first released album
No Doubt in 1996, sold 500,000 copies in the United States. In 1999 the trio released the most famous 702 song called "
Where My Girls At?" on the album
702which gained a high level of success for the group selling 1,000,000 copies in the United States.
For undisclosed conflicting personal reasons with the record label, Kameelah Williams distanced herself from the Grinstead sisters after the release of that album, and was replaced by Cree La'More, a solo singer who Irish and LeMisha personally picked to join the group. The new line-up released a single called "Pootie Tang" for the
Pootie Tang soundtrack, though
shortly after this, Kameelah Williams returned to the group, and for undisclosed reasons, Cree La'More left the ensemble. With the return of Kameelah Williams, they released the album
Star which is mostly remembered for the single "I Still Love You".
The group then disbanded in 2006. They regrouped again in 2017, and appeared at the
2017 Soul Train Music Awards.
