Formation
Naughty by Nature group member Kay Gee had formed Divine Mill Records, whose roster includes Warner Bros. Records recording artists Jaheim, Eddie Berkeley, Barry Salters, and Allstar (who produced "After Party" and co-produced with Teddy Riley, Joe's R&B/pop chart topper "Stutter.") RL Huggar (also of Next) suggested Fonz leave his native Mississippi to come to Minnesota and audition for Kay Gee. East Orange, New Jersey-born Vee was an old neighborhood friend of Kay Gee and had toured as a background singer with Mary J. Blige and Faith Evans. She can also be heard on Case's "Touch Me Tease Me" from The Nutty Professor movie soundtrack and the Next single, Too Close. After their formation as a duo, they appeared on Next's Rated Next in 1997 and then Naughty by Nature's Nineteen Naughty Nine: Nature's Fury in 1999.

Famous quotes containing the word formation:
“The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“That for which Paul lived and died so gloriously; that for which Jesus gave himself to be crucified; the end that animated the thousand martyrs and heroes who have followed his steps, was to redeem us from a formal religion, and teach us to seek our well-being in the formation of the soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I want you to consider this distinction as you go forward in life. Being male is not enough; being a man is a right to be earned and an honor to be cherished. I cannot tell you how to earn that right or deserve that honor. . . but I can tell you that the formation of your manhood must be a conscious act governed by the highest vision of the man you want to be.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
