Appearing on digital platforms yesterday is a digital reissue of "Azz Is" which is the only album recorded by 90s L.A. girl trio
MoKenStef.
The group was named after its three members Monifa Bethune, Kenya Hadley and Stef (Stephanie) Sinclair who released their album in 1995. It
produced three singles "Sex In The Rain", "Baby Come Close" (a Smokey Robinson song from his debut solo album "Smokey" in 1973) and
"He's Mine" which was a #2 R&B / #7 Hot 100 hit and samples Zapp "Be Alight" and
Prince "Do Me Baby".
The opening track / intro on the digital release (tracks are in a different order
to the original album) "Stop Callin' Me" uses Rose Royce' s "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" as the backing.
A further single "He Say / She Say" was released in 1999 from a planned sophomore album that didn't
materialise. A final release was "I Got Him All The Time" (a remix of "He's Mine") on a four track promo/sampler on Def Jam in 2000
before the trio disbanded in 2003.
They reunited in 2014 with the idea of writing a book of their music
business experience which also inspired then to get back in the studio. The
book "Unfinished Business" was published in 2020 which is perhaps why the
album has been reissued?
