Nyanda is said to be more like the "Brick" (street, sexy, rough) of the group while Nailah is more like the "Lace" (girly, sweet, cute). Now the duo is the first act on Kon Live/180 Entertainment/Geffen imprint. Their debut album, Love Is Wicked was released in 2007.
Brick & Lace were once a trio, with their older sister Tasha, who left in order to start a family and work behind the scenes.

The lyrics to Brick & Lace's song "Buss A Shot" are a declaration of love and loyalty to a significant other who is currently incarcerated. The chorus repeats the phrase "Me bust a shot for my love," which is a way of saying that the singer will do anything for their lover, including putting themselves in harm's way. The use of the word "plow" after every mention of "busting a shot" is an onomatopoeic representation of the sound of a gunshot.
The first verse describes the lover's incarceration and the singer's unwavering devotion to them. The use of the sound effects "Pridididididingding" and "bang" emphasizes the urgency and intensity of the situation. The singer promises to wear their lover's ring and remain faithful to them until eternity. The "trinity" mentioned towards the end of the verse likely refers to the connection between the two lovers and a higher power.
The second verse reassures the lover that they have nothing to worry about and that the singer's love for them is unwavering. The line "This is your territory" could be interpreted as the singer acknowledging that their lover is the dominant partner in the relationship, even if they are currently incapacitated. The repetition of "don't you worry" emphasizes the singer's desire to ease their lover's mind.
The third verse acknowledges that the singer is a celebrity who travels the world, but emphasizes that they will always be loyal to their lover. The image of the singer as a pearl straight from the ocean reinforces this sense of purity and loyalty. The chorus repeats once more, emphasizing the singer's devotion to their lover, before the song ends with a final reassuring message.
