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 Sisqรณ and Woody released solo albums. While Woody's Soul Music LP was a moderate success in the gospel music industry, Sisqรณ's debut album, Unleash the Dragon, and its hit singles, "Thong Song" and "Incomplete", were major pop successes, and established Sisqรณ as a household name outside Dru Hill. Sisqรณ'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.

Creep with Dr. Bullshit
When I talk my teeth should rot
I'm from Da Bricks, so which means I'm born to dog
Your girlfriends want a shot at it?
Warn 'em all
I hear them all from the bathroom stall
Tap and drawl
Say they get gas to pass platinum cars
Then I'm like, "Yo!
I'm goin' to buy my crew bikes with double pipes
That we quick to lose on the turnpike"
I'm the one that turned you out, dog it out
It was the Hennessy that made us slug it out
But you like, bitch you freaky, you down with it
Your other man's a punk
When I hand the punk the rush, he ride out
Tough, even Honey Comb hide out, duck the hour
Rush, better choose quick chick, I got tracks to dust
Dru Hill, Def Squad, if you askin' us (how deep, how deep is your love?)
How deep is your love for me?
Tell me what it's gonna be (I've got to know baby)
Now do you see your self fuckin'
With a nigga like me (oh yeah)
On the low though so your friends won't know, see now
How deep is your love for me? (alright)
Tell me what it's gonna be (said alright)
Now do you see your self fuckin'
With a nigga like me
On the low though so your friends won't know, see now (said yeah)
How deep is your love for me
Tell me what it's gonna be (baby)
Now do you see your self fuckin'
With a nigga like me
On the low though so your friends won't know, see now (think I'll sing it again)
How deep is your love for me
Tell me what it's gonna be
Now do you see your self fuckin'
With a nigga like me
On the low though so your friends won't know, see now
How deep is your love for me (baby)
Tell me what it's gonna be (tell me)
Now do you see your self fuckin'
With a nigga like me

The song "How Deep Is Your Love" by Dru Hill was released in 1998 and features a collaboration with Def Squad members Redman and Keith Murray. The lyrics describe the singer's insecurity about his relationship and asks his partner how deep their love truly is. The lyrics are filled with questions and comparisons between the singer and his partner's potential other lover. Redman and Keith Murray's verses add a rap element to the song and showcase their individual styles.
Throughout the song, the singer questions whether his partner's love is truly deep enough to stay with him. He compares himself to her other lover, suggesting that he can satisfy her in ways the other man cannot. This insecurity speaks to the challenges many couples face in relationships, including fears of being replaced or not being enough for their partner. Redman and Keith Murray's verses add a different element to the song, with Redman's humorous yet suggestive rhymes contrasting with Keith Murray's more introspective verses.
