Upon their debut in the late 1990s, the duo lent their vocals to several tracks on Pras' Ghetto Supastar (1998) album, such as the single "Blue Angels". In 1999, Wyclef Jean convinced Arista Records chief Clive Davis to release the track "Maria Maria"—The Project G&B's collaboration with legendary musician Carlos Santana—as a late summer single, a decision which contributed to Santana's Supernatural (1999) album eventually selling over 30 million copies worldwide.[1] The song became a worldwide number-one and top-ten hit. "Maria Maria" was ranked as the third most-successful song of 1999 on the Billboard Hot 100. In early 2000, the song went on to be nominated for and win the award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards. The duo then released the singles, "Cluck Cluck", "Dirty Dancin'", and "I'm Tired of Being Broke", the latter featuring 50 Cent.[2]
The Product G&B were featured on M.O.P.'s DJ Premier-produced song "Everyday" from the album Warriorz (2000).
Later, in 2009, the duo was featured on Squala Orphan's song "U Don't Know" from the album Unheard Cries (2009).[3]
In 2011, McRae formed a rock band called Guitars N Bandanaz with himself and rapper Mike Street. On May 31, 2013, they released the song "V.I.P." with Kay One.[4] The single charted in several European markets. A year later, on May 23, 2014, they released an EP through Universal Music, with DJ Mr. Da-Nos, called Summer Nights in Brazil; the recording earned the group a nomination for Best Swiss Act at the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards.
