In Las Vegas, sisters LeMisha and Irish Grinstead, and their friend Kameelah Williams, were students at the Las Vegas Academy of Performing Arts. Irish, her twin sister Orish, and LeMisha occasionally sang in the lobby of Caesars Palace where they were discovered by actor/comedian Sinbad. He visited their home in order to convince their parents to send the trio to Atlanta for a convention and music competition. Though the girls missed the deadline for entry, Sinbad used his name to get them in.[1] "Sweeta than Suga," as they were then called (Sinbad suggested the name), came in second in the competition. As the convention was nearing a close, they met Michael Bivins (of New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe) who agreed to work with the sisters. They were briefly joined by their cousin Amelia Childs. After they made their recorded debut on Subway's hit single "This Lil' Game We Play", Amelia dropped out of the group[1] and was replaced by Kameelah Williams. After recording a few demos as a quartet including "Steelo", and "Get It Together", Orish decided to leave the group (even though her vocals appear on the first album). Bivins continued to work with different producers and songwriters to get the right feel for their first album. The reconfigured group was christened "702," which is Las Vegas' area code, a name which bivens suggested. [1]
702 was discovered by Michael Bivins of New Edition and made their recorded debut on Subway's hit single "This Lil' Game We Play". Missy Elliott wrote and co-produced four songs from their first album, No Doubt, including "Steelo". The remix of "Steelo" was the first major solo production credit for Elliott's main collaborator Timbaland. "Steelo" was later used, with altered lyrics, as the theme song to the Nickelodeon television show Cousin Skeeter.
Elliott crafted two more songs for 702, their second album, the top 5 hit "Where My Girls At" and "You Don't Know". No Doubt won a Lady Of Soul Soul Train Award for "Best R&B/Soul or Rap Album Of The Year by A Group Band Or Duo". The group split after the poor sales of their album 'Star' and lack of promotion from Motown.
Kameelah now sings backup for the likes of Faith Evans and Macy Gray. She has been working on her solo project for a while, releasing a number of singles including the duet with Musiq Soulchild “Give It to You” and her recent release “Think About Me”. Irish was the only group member to act, as she co-starred in The Brewster Project in early 2004.
Orish, twin sister of Irish, died of kidney failure on Sunday April 20, 2008 at age 27. She was part of the original lineup (pre-No Doubt) and filled in for Misha during her pregnancy.

Come %26 Knock On My Door
702 Lyrics
I anticipate, you told me that you wouldn't be late
Boy here I wait
Got the candles lit so boy don't you hesitate
Prepare to be amazed
I'll bend to every move that you make
You can have it your way
I got the wine on ice
'Cause I'm sure we'll be up late
You got me buggin-buggin
For you I'm always open
More kisses and more huggin
Lovin' everything you do to me
No matter what the time is
You are always invited
On me, I'll never fight it
don't take me wrong
Just want to turn you on
Come and knock on my door
I've been waiting on you
Cause your love is on time
can't get enough of you
can't be faking what's real
I'll just tell you what true
Come as fast as you can
I want everything to go as planned
Cause tonight you're gonna win
Ready to give in - cause you're not that average man
It's been a long time since
I let my guards down and let you in
It was you that I missed
Lets cut right to the chase
And come handle it
You got me buggin-buggin
For you I'm always open
More kisses and more huggin
Lovin' everything you do to me
No matter what the time is
You are always invited
On me; I'll never fight it
don't take me wrong
Just want to turn you on
Come and knock on my door
I've been waiting on you
Cause your love is on time
can't get enough of you
can't be faking what's real
I'll just tell you what true
Boy here I wait
Got the candles lit so boy don't you hesitate
Prepare to be amazed
I'll bend to every move that you make
You can have it your way
I got the wine on ice
'Cause I'm sure we'll be up late
You got me buggin-buggin
More kisses and more huggin
Lovin' everything you do to me
No matter what the time is
You are always invited
On me, I'll never fight it
don't take me wrong
Just want to turn you on
Come and knock on my door
I've been waiting on you
Cause your love is on time

can't be faking what's real
I'll just tell you what true
Come as fast as you can
I want everything to go as planned
Cause tonight you're gonna win
Ready to give in - cause you're not that average man
It's been a long time since
I let my guards down and let you in
It was you that I missed
Lets cut right to the chase
And come handle it
You got me buggin-buggin
For you I'm always open
More kisses and more huggin
Lovin' everything you do to me
No matter what the time is
