Quo was a short-lived rap group composed of Wade Robson (born 1982) and DeWayne Turrentine (born 1979) that was signed to Michael Jackson's Epic Records sub-label, MJJ Music during the explosion of kid rap duos. The duo came together in 1994 and released the single "Blowin' Up (Don't Stop the Music)" which became a minor hip hop hit, charting on both the Hot Rap Singles chart and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. On October 25, 1994, the duo's self-titled album was released but failed to make it to any of the Billboard charts. The following year, a second single, "Quo Funk," was released, which heavily sampled the Jacksons' “This Place Hotel,” but it only made it to #2 on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles. After "Quo Funk," the duo disbanded, with Wade Robson becoming a successful choreographer, producer, and actor; while DeWayne Turrentine became a fashion model and married actress Reagan Gomez-Preston and has two children a daughter named Scarlett Annette Turrentine (born May 13, 2007) and son Tyger Turrentine (born 2011).
Famous quotes containing the word quo:
“Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That’s their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
