In the middle of 1998, during the golden European HipHop and Rap years when artists like Nana, Down Low and C-Block dominated the charts in Europe, a new group could be seen with the single "Stay" The song has a very catchy chorus and some great rappin by the groups members. "Stay" got really big in Europe and it also reached #8 on the famous chart Viva Top 100. Then they made a duet with Down Low, 4 The Cause, 2 Ruff and Sweetbox to made the song "Last Christmas" as Rap Allstars. It became a huge 1998 x-mas hit. The song is a wonderful hip-hop version of Wham!ยดs old song. The second single from 2-4 Family was "Lean On Me". This is a wonderful song, and proves that they arenยดt a one-hit-wonder band. It also reached number 9 on Viva Top 100. The debut album "Family Business" was released the 16 of March 1999 and is one of the best albums of the European HipHop/Rap era. The 3rd single from 2-4 Family was "Take Me Home" and was released in June, 1999. That was the end of the 2-4 Family. They only released one album.
In 2006, it was time for another strange move from the music business. The producers of the original 2-4 Family, used the group name and formed a new 2-4 Family, with different members.

If you don't like me, then you don't like the truth
Jump in the coupe, I just might jump out the roof
I just might land in the bushes, I just might jump out and shoot
Might get yo bitch on the poop, then I'mma get with the poot
This is an effinin', it do not take long to shoot
I did the shit with my crew, my favorite number is two
I got two bitches with me, we been kickin', this a two
Shoot yo ass up with a 22, they with me and fadin' 22
Nigga talkin' bout the get hoes, talkin' bout they got plenty hoes
Every month I can fuck 20 hoes, and it ain't even that many holes
I'm a beast! I'm a beast in the streets, I'm a beast off the leash
I'm a beast on yo beesh, she drinkin' Sex on the Beach
Just to have sex on the beach, I just bought a crib in Florida
Just to have sex on the beach
This here ain't nothin' to me, I'm always reppin' the streets
I am so high, you gon' need steps when you steppin' to me
Real as can be, put yo hands up if you're feelin' the beat
It's goin' down, we done finally got it right off the ground
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
Hell is you sayin', I am the man (Jump)
Hell is you sayin', I am the man (Jump)
Hell is you sayin', I am the man (Jump)

Come in here bitch and I'm singin' like skeet
While all you niggas is singin' like skate
But it's too late, uh, sweet like a tooth ache
Pop at yo toupee, pour out some D'usse
Go to your funeral, take me a bouquet
Throw it up like it's hooray
Switch up the bitch, switch up the foreign
What is y'all doin', what is you pourin'?
Why is he snorin'? Why is he tourin', that nigga is borin'
Now why is he tourin'? Now answer that question
Didn't get an answer? Then leave me a message
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
Hell is you sayin', I am the man (Jump)
