"When artists like Bobby Brown, Christopher Williams and James Brown engineer, compose, and produce your debut album, one would think you'd have a fairly successful album or, at least, a legit top-10 hit on the charts, but thats not the case here. EMI/Capitol records released One II 3's debut album, Whole New Head, in the year of 93. When the lead single "Love Me Right," produced by Curtis Baldwin, Ike Lee Ill, Bobby Brown, and Kiyamma/Kiy Griffin, didn't generate any buzz or live up to the high expectations, One II 3 was dropped from Capitol records, never releasing a follow-up album. One II 3 is a vocal trio that shouldn't be overlooked. They played an important role in R&B and Hip-Hop music and expanded on what Whistle and Bobby Brown perfected and thats R&B mixed with Rap. Their beats are new jack flavored, vocals well above average, and raps are, shockingly, well and serious. The trio has the ability to harmonize like Shai, rich and seductive on new jack ballads, but sound like a legitimate rap group on hip-hop flavored beats. One II 3 should appeal to fans of the new jack swing era and early-'90s R&B."
