IV Xample

Their first single, "The Swang," achieved popular local radio play in Los Angeles on 92.3 The Beat and went on to number 1 on the station's popular "4 Play at 4" segment that showcased up and coming local artists.

Upon signing to MCA, they achieved greater commercial success with their next single, "I'd Rather Be Alone," which reached number 44 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Top 40 status on the R&B charts.

Soon afterward however, Bobby Chevis left the group for a solo career.

The group then split up, with Andre "Dre" Allen later having success as a performer, releasing three solo albums for Tommy Boy Records and his own label Movemakers Entertainment.

He also worked as a songwriter, producer and director writing for artists such as Outkast, Master P, Lil Romeo, Babyface, Montell Jordan, En Vogue, Will Downing and Jesse Powell.
