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
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No wait... Wait a minute I see...
Jesus Christ, it's huge!
Wait slow down and wait for backup
I gotta get a closer look.
I repeat wait for backup
I gotta get a closer look. No John!!
I gotta see...
I'm gonna go closer, I'm goin' closer.
Wait... Wait a second... I've lost control.
I'm going to enter the Dru
I repeat ima have to enter the Dru.
The song "Enter The Dru" by Dru Hill starts with a spoken-word introduction that seems like a scene from a science fiction movie. The singer sees something that astonishes him/her and calls for backup, but the fascination overcomes the urge to be careful as they decided to move closer to observe the phenomenon directly. However, the fascination becomes too strong that they lose control and decide to enter it. The phrase "Enter The Dru" is used as a metaphor for the irresistible attraction or allure of their music.
The rest of the song shifts to the R&B style of Dru Hill, with the members showcasing their vocal range and harmonization skills. The lyrics are a straightforward declaration of the band's artistic capability and confidence. They are inviting the listener to join them on their musical journey, guaranteeing a unique and satisfying experience. The opening lines alone can ignite curiosity and set the mood for exploring the soulful and playful melodies that follow.
