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.

3rd Storee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I had a mil and a six would I be able to bag you?
If I rocked big jewels and had a house on the beach
Would you mind comin' through?
What if I hit the big screen
And my face was seen in every magazine
Coast to coast people dressed like me
Picture me livin' the life of a superstar
All the girls around the world
They cry, they know who we are
You with that mamma 'cause you know
With a superstar comes the dollars and the Prada
So don't wait 'til I'm busy just to holler
You can have me now before them other girls follow
Baby, I'mma be a superstar
Then you'll wanna get with me
(Superstar)
Drivin' 'round in my fancy car
You know you wanna ride with me
(Superstar)
Having parties out at my house
You know you wanna come see me
(Superstar)
I'm a superstar tryin' to get on
Wait 'til I'm big girl, I'll be gone
Now you know what the deal is if you roll with me
You'll be introduced to the showbiz
I know you like that, I know you wanna walk the red carpet
And see all the cameras go
(Snap, snap)
Man it's really crazy flyin' here to there
Ladies everywhere, you betta come get me baby
Before you can't catch me baby
Picture me livin' the life of a superstar
All the girls around the world
They cry, they know who we are

This is not a dream, just believe me
Baby, I'ma be a superstar
Then you'll wanna get with me

Having parties out at my house
You know you wanna come see me

Wait 'til I'm big girl, I'll be gone
See, I can't wait until the day
When my family will get to see
Me being all I can be, it's in me

In "Superstar" by 3rd Storee, the singer is questioning whether their potential partner would still be interested in them if they were a rich and famous superstar. They ask if their financial success, good looks, and extravagant lifestyle would still be enough to attract their partner's attention. The singer imagines being a worldwide superstar with adoring fans and plenty of money, and they question whether their partner would still be with them during this newfound success.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses their desire to be a superstar and live a life of luxury. They want to skip lines and be treated like a VIP. It's clear that they believe that status and wealth are the elements that will bring them happiness and ultimately bring their partner closer to them.
However, there is an underlying anxiety in the song that the singer is feeling about this potential scenario. If their partner is only interested in them because of their financial success, will they stay with them? Ultimately, the song is about the fear of losing somebody who doesn't love you for who you are, but for what you can offer.
