The group's self-titled debut album (1988) was met with commercial success; Hall provided lead vocals on its songs "Groove Me," "I Like," and "Piece of My Love", among others.
[5] Hall developed a speech impediment as a child that would last into adulthood, causing him to struggle to pronounce his own name and restricting his ability to give interviews during his early career.
Gatling knew Teddy Riley through their early group called Kids at Work, which was managed by Gene Griffin.
In between Hall's traditional Black gospel voice and erratic singing brought up major comparisons to artists later being in the business.
After the failed Guy reunion in 1997, which only brought a track for the New York Undercover movie soundtrack, Hall announced he would work on another solo album the following year.
[10][11] The album features Faith Evans and hip-hop group Terror Squad, and it includes Fat Joe, Big Pun, Cuban Linx and Unique on a remixed track.
[14] On November 24, 2023, a lawsuit was filed against Hall and Sean Combs by an unnamed woman, alleging they both sexually assaulted her and a friend after an event at Uptown Records in the early 1990s.
