R&B group Dru Hill<\/a> will bust out a slew of slow jams and classics at the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts in the Bronx on Saturday Nov 15. The group, which produced hits like \u201cIn My Bed,\u201d \u201cHow Deep is Your Love,\u201d and \u201cNever Make a Promise,\u201d features founder-producer Tamir \u201cNokio\u201d Ruffin as well as original members Mark \u201cSisqo\u201d Andrews and Larry \u201cJazz\u201d Anthony, alongside Playa members Smoke and Black, rounding out the latest lineup of the Baltimore vocal group. They will be joined by R&B singer Christopher Williams.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so many things that connect us to New York,\u201d Nokio told the Amsterdam News in an interview via telephone ahead of the show as he reminisced about the early days of Dru Hill, where they took a trip to the city to make a deal with Island Records. \u201cWe recorded \u2018Tell Me\u2019 at the Hit Factory \u2026 and even before we had a deal we were performing at the Apollo<\/a> \u2013 performing for the \u2018Showtime at the Apollo\u2019 contests where we ended up winning first place \u2013 we have a lot of history in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dru Hill has brought their smooth stylings and remarkable vocal blend to audiences for roughly three decades. \u201cOne of the biggest things we want people to walk away from the show with, besides having a great time, it\u2019s the chance to see some guys from Baltimore and Kentucky \u2026 who just really have a tight brotherhood, who love and respect each other, and who come together to bring that feeling to the people whenever we get a chance to,\u201d Nokio said. \u201cWe\u2019re ready to bring the love.\u201d <\/p>\n

Lehman College students and staff can receive $5 off their tickets in person at the box office with ID, and everyone else can save on select seats through Groupon<\/a>. As for Dru Hill, Nokio said there are some exciting plans to celebrate the group\u2019s 30th anniversary, but details are yet to be revealed, so be sure to stay up to date with Dru Hill on social media<\/a>. <\/p>\n
