7669

7669 was an American R&B girl group, who were signed to Motown Records in the 1990s. The name 7669 was a fusion of US independence (1776) and the sexual revolution (1969). The group was composed of members Angela "Big Ange" Hunte, Marcy "Shorti 1 Forti" Roberts, El-Melek A. "El Boog-E" Moore and Mallore "Thicknezz" Irvine. Their debut album, 7669 East from a Bad Block, was released on November 2, 1993, and scored two minor hits on the Billboard R&B chart: "So High", which peaked at 35, and "Joy", which peaked at 72. The latter also peaked at number 60 in the UK singles Chart in June 1994. The band appeared on a 1993 episode of Soul Train. Group member Angela Hunte was later credited on Jay-Z's 2009 single "Empire State of Mind" and won a Grammy award for Best Rap Song. Billboard. Nielsen Business Media, Inc. August 14, 1993. p. 82.
