In 1999 they were signed by Atlantic Records, and their first album they would release would come at 2002, entitled “Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz”, becoming a multi-platinum hit and earning the title of 2002’s best-selling hip hop album. The album featured songs like “Awnaw” and “Headz Up” but what really shined was their song “Po’ Folks” featuring Anthony Hamilton, written by R. Prophet, and gaining two Grammy nominations, along with a BMI Publishing Award. R. Prophet tells the media that the song was about poverty and how it’s more of a state of mind. In the following years, the group would earn several more award nominations, including for American Music Awards and two more Grammys.
