Signing to Island Records through Haqq Islam's University Records imprint, the group released two successful albums, Dru Hill and Enter the Dru, before separating for a period from late 1999 to 2002, during which time Sisqó and Woody released solo albums. While Woody's Soul Music LP was a moderate success in the gospel music industry, Sisqó's debut album, Unleash the Dragon, and its hit singles, "Thong Song" and "Incomplete", were major pop successes, and established Sisqó as a household name outside Dru Hill. Sisqó's second album, Return of Dragon, did not sell as well.
In 2002, by then part of the Def Soul record label, the group reunited and added fifth member Rufus "Scola" Waller to the lineup for their third album, Dru World Order, whose underperformance led to the group being dropped from Def Soul. In 2009, the group signed to Kedar Entertainment Group and released their fourth album, InDRUpendence Day, the following year, with new member Tao taking the place of the again departed Woody.

Dru Hill Lyrics

AND SLEEPING IN MY BED,
WE NEVER MAKE A PROMISE,

SO SPECIAL TO ME.
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO DRU HILL,
THAN WHAT THE EYES CAN SEE.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW WE NEED YOU,(WE NEED YOU)
WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT YOU?(WITHOUT YOU,WHERE WOULD WE BE)

KEEP IT IN OUR MUSIC,(I DON'T THEY HEARD ME),
BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA DO THIS.
WE'RE NEVER GONNA LOSE IT.
NO WAY, NO WAY, NO WAY.
