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.

Line by Line Meaning
See everybody needs someone by their side
Having someone to be with is essential for everyone
And I can't go on without you another night
Without you, my life feels incomplete and unbearable
Since companionship's been gone
Ever since you left me
My life has been so slow
I feel like my life has lost its momentum
Without you, you
Without you being with me
See it don't take a rocket scientist to know I love you
It's obvious that I am deeply in love with you
See it don't take a rocket scientist to know I need you
It's no secret that I need you in my life
See if you believe that you and me can change the world someday
If you believe that we can make a difference in the world together
Then believe me when I say
Trust me when I tell you
I still love you
My love for you hasn't faded
I still love you
I am still deeply in love with you
I decided I still love you
I made the conscious decision to continue loving you
So what do you think
What are your thoughts?
Let's get back together (let's get back together)
We should reconcile and be together again
There's nothing it could hurt
There's no harm in giving our love another chance
It could only get better
Our relationship has the potential to improve
Think of what it last felt like
Recall how amazing it was when we were together
When you and I done turned our nights into forever, see
When we transformed our short nights into everlasting memories
Never dreamed I'd be so happy
I never imagined I could be this content
And sure of myself
I am confident in myself
Baby, life without you is so dark
My life is gloomy and depressing without you
Now I know it'll never be me loving someone else
I am certain that I could never love anyone else but you
It's precious love
Our love is invaluable
You're my shining star
You are my guiding light and the center of my universe
I remember when we first fell in love
I recall the time when we first experienced love
I was too young to know what it was
I was too naïve to comprehend what love meant
I couldn't address what made me melt
I couldn't identify what made me feel warm and fuzzy inside
But quick to tell you how it felt
Nevertheless, I promptly shared my feelings with you
That life is so real
The reality of life
And it still is
And it remains the same
Just think of the things we planned to do - me and you
Recall the amazing plans we had together
I'm changing the face of the new world we once knew
Together, we can make a difference in the present world
So long as the sun is shine the oceans are blue
My love for you will continue as long as the sun shines and the oceans remain blue
I still love you...
I still love you, now and forever

Rip Irish, 702 forever🎉🎉
@munyamubaiwa4313
RIP Irish. This track is a classic from this trippy beat era of 1999. Throwback to Aaliyah (2nd album), TLC (Fanmail), Destinys child (Writings on the wall), Missy (Supa dupa fly), Total (2nd album), Shola Ama (First album). I think a lot of this was Missy and Darkchild beats.
@chrissystewart6268
Rest Easy Irish we miss you Queen 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

@savageg7155
Everyone in the UK loved this song so much because the beat is such a UKGarage beat 😭😭, it was crazy that a American R&B group jumped on a track sounding like this
@DominiqueJHealthWealthTravel
This was the sound most groups and soloist were doing in the early 2000s here.
@savageg7155
@@DominiqueJHealthWealthTravel nah this particular sound on this track is more different to the other early 2000 R&B groups... well for us in the UK because in the 90’s UK garage was big and this beat is VERY close to UK garage sound than it is to R&B
