K7 Biography
This Latin-flavoured hip-hop unit from Manhattan, New York, USA found chart success in 1993 with the addictive and anthemic "Come Baby Come". The quintet combine energetic R&B arrangements with clean raps, a style which has been unkindly referred to as "The Hispanic Take That'. Led by K7, who gives the group their name, they also feature DJ Non-Stop, Prophet, Tre Duece and LOS. K7"s attitude to labelling is unequivocal: "My music is male bonding on a hip-hop level. It's not rap music". The party-jam spirit of their debut single was present alongside more of the same on their debut album, which included the bilingual "Zunga Zeng" cut, as well as a rather embarrassing attempt at "A Little Help From My Friends".
