During last night’s LIVESTREAM, Keith Sweat’s Platinum House Occupants and R&B group Dru Hill opened up and let Centric in on some little known facts about the group and their evolution.  From dance moves to dysfunction. Check out what we learned about the Baltimore quartet…and trust us, there are some things many of you super fans probably might not know.

1.  Those trademark “jumps” that Dru Hill does (most memorably in the “Tell Me” video) were inspired by church.  Inspired by the gospel feel of the track, the group was reminded a church deacon’s aisle step. They took that walk, developed it into a jump, and the Dru Hill “jump” was born.

2.  The “In My Bed (remix)” music video was shot the day after the Notorious B.I.G. was gunned down in Los Angeles. 

3.  Dru Hill rose from the bottom all the way to the top without a co-sign from any huge artists or producers on their first album (i.e. Diddy or Jermaine Dupri).

4.  Nokio was Trey Songz’s A&R before getting back into the studio for this latest Dru Hill project.

5.  If Nokio wasn’t in music, he would have attended John’s Hopkins University for medicine.

6.  Sisqo studied commercial art in high school and was recruited by Disney to work for them upon graduating high school, but he of course chose to sing with Dru Hill.

7.  Sisqo’s daughter was the little girl at the beginning of his “Thong Song” video in 1999.

8.  Dru Hill is working on releasing a video game, complete with the group’s music as the soundtrack.

9.  Nokio said that there will always be a Dru Hill even if there are NO original members left.

10. The group doesn’t belive in canceling a show for illness. Sisqo has performed with a sprained ankle and Nokio has performed on crutches

It’s the halfway mark of this season of Keith Sweat’s Platinum House, so it’s about time that the men of Dru Hill speak out and let everybody know what’s been going on and what viewers can expect to see the rest of this season.  If you want to hear what Sisqo, Nokio, Jazz, and Tao have to say then tonight is your lucky night.

Tonight’s episode of Keith Sweat’s Platinum House saw a group boxing session turn serious between original members Sisqo and Nokio. Want to know if the two finally have stopped fighting? How do they handle problems now? and, what Nokio thinks of former member Woody?  We sure do. Nokio shares his thoughts on this fourth installment of THE DRAGON DIARIES:

Me and Sisqo are cool. The fighting sh*t got old, so now we’ve learned to talk out our differences. We don’t always agree, but we agree to disagree.

And About Woody…

I feel like Woody did what he had to do and I have nothing but the utmost respect for him. He’s very talented so no matter what he does it’s [going  to] work.

On tonight’s episode of Keith Sweat’s Platinum House the men of Dru Hill continue of the journey of rebuilding their personal and working relationships…but not without drama.

It’s no secret that tensions have been running high between all four members of  Dru Hill, but the tension between two members finally peaks during a group fitness session gone wrong.  What starts out as a day of fitness and team building, turns into a relative fight between strangers.

To find out which two group members let anger get the best of them and how Dru Hill recovers from this setback tune in to Keith Sweat’s Platinum House tonight at 8PM EST only on Centric.

Putting an album together is one thing, but a great live performance is a completely different animal.  Dru Hill is a group that has been blessed with both of these aforementioned talents.

Check out this 106 & Park performance of “I Should Be” by Dru Hill from a few years back and tell us what you think here or on our twitter page.  Also, don’t forget to tune into Keith Sweat’s Platinum House tonight at 8PM EST.

Since you missed Monday night’s episode, we thought we’d hold off on dishing the drama of what happened. Learned your lesson? Good. Here’s the recap:

On this week’s episode of Keith Sweat’s Platinum House, singers Nokio and Sisqo were reintroduced to the world on a more intimate level. What surfaced were personal demons that are affecting them—and the group— more than they realized.

Nokio, usually a man of few words, opened up to the group’s therapist about his life and how he sees Dru Hill.  He spoke of his depression and admitted to attempting suicide when he was 17 or 18.  Brought up in a broken home, Nokio struggled because his father was a man of the streets and his mother was dealing with her homosexuality.  By the end of his therapy session Nokio said that Dru Hill is plagued with a combination of jealousy and admiration which is the root of a lot of their problems.
