Naughty by Nature is a Hip-Hop trio from East Orange, New Jersey consisting of Treach (Anthony Criss, b. 1970), Vin Rock (Vincent Brown, b. 1970), and DJ Kay Gee (Keir Lamont Gist, b. 1969). Discovered by their East Orange around-the-way girl Queen Latifah, the members of Naughty by Nature were apart part of her posse, the Flavor Unit. Naughty by Nature's first hit was "O.P.P.", which sampled the Jackson 5's hit "ABC" and was released in 1991 on their self-titled album Naughty by Nature. Their formula for success combines two opposite trends from the other side of the country. They mixed Rap with Pwop samples in their lyrics, shifting from sexual innuendo to stories of tough urban life. They are known for being one of the few rap acts who were able to balance success on the pop charts with hardcore rap credibility.
