Willie Max was a R&B trio composed of sisters Rose, Sky and Lyric Smith.
The girl group was based in Detroit, Michigan and began its career under the name Smith Reflections.
Saadiq renamed the group Willie Max, after their father and mother's first names.
In 1998, signed to Saddiq's Pookie Records label, the girls released their debut album, Bona Fide.
The album was made predominantly by the girls and Lathun Grady, and scored one reasonable hit with "Can't Get Enough" in 1998, which reached #49 on the Hot 100 and #20 on the R&B charts.
