While on this label, the men of 3rd Storee toured with N'Sync and Britney Spears. In 1999, they released their self-titled debut album which had five tracks produced by Babyface. One of these tracks, "If Ever", was released as a single. The album's other single was "Party Tonight."
After the first album, lead singer Lil Man left the group to pursue a solo career. In 2005 he released his first album "Learn How To Love" which spawned the hit single "Happy Together." As part of his current deal with Treacherous Records, K. Young was given his own production company "Magic Ink." He currently is touring in Europe.
The group was then moved to Def Soul, which was serving as the new distribution method for Edmonds Entertainment. While there, the group roster expanded to five, as they added long-time friend, J'Son, and Gavin, who had impressed the group's manager, Jacqueline McQuarn.
While on Def Soul, the group released the album Get With Me in 2002. It included the track "I'm Sorry," which the group had recorded for the Rush Hour 2 soundtrack. The title track, "Get With Me," was produced by Rodney Jerkins and was released as a single.
Following the release of their sophomore effort, the group went on a brief hiatus. They returned in 2006 under the new name, Chapter 4, and had lost Kevontay in the process. Under the new name, the group was signed to J Records, where they released the single "Fool Wit You." They were reportedly working on a new album, but that seems to have been lost in the rough.

The song "And It's True" by 3rd Storee is about the realization that material things and worldly desires do not bring happiness or fulfillment if the person you love is not by your side. The singer admits that he has everything he could ever want in life, but none of it matters if his lover is not with him. He recognizes that even though he could have any girl he wants, all that he really wants is this one person. He realizes that love cannot be bought with money or luxury, and he is willing to give up everything just to be with the person he loves. The chorus repeats the idea that the only thing that matters is this person, and that all he ever wanted was her.
The lyrics show a level of maturity and growth in the singer's character, as he realizes that material things and superficial desires will never truly satisfy him. He has come to the realization that true happiness can only be found in love and relationships, and that everything else is secondary. The song's emotional nature and relatable theme make it a hit amongst listeners of all ages and backgrounds.
