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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So what she ain't checking for ya, don't let that one girl destroy ya
For every dime that's on the floor, there's about a hundred more
Steady coming through the door, so what are you waiting for
You and yo boys came to mack 'cause y'all know where the parties at
So hot you might suffocate but y'all not tryin' to leave this place
Got on ya tightest gear competition's pretty fierce
That's right fellas, y'all came here to dance
Get off the wall let me see you wave yo hands
That's right ladies, y'all came here to groove
Grab a fella that you like now everybody move
You might have to call the cops
Let me see you dance, dance
Let me see those hands, hands
'Cause the party never stops

Clap your hands just a little bit louder
Stomp your feet if you came to party
We are in here and there ain't no trouble
We just want y'all to move ya bodies
Clap your hands just a little bit louder
Stomp your feet if you came to party

Party's been goin' for hours now
You just got out the shower now
Get dressed unwrap ya hair
Tell your girls you'll meet 'em there
Jump in your ride doing 65
You in the mood to get crunked up tonight
That's right fellas, y'all came here to dance
Get off the wall let me see you wave yo hands
