The group formed in East Orange, New Jersey, and first appeared on the music scene in the late 1980's releasing an album titled The Independent Leaders, under their then name The New Style. The album generated the minor hit "Scuffin' Those Knees". After the release of their first album, the group was subsequently mentored by fellow New Jersey native Queen Latifah and consequently changed their name.

Their first hit as Naughty By Nature was a track titled "O.P.P." ("Other People's Parts"), which sampled the The Jackson 5's hit "ABC" and was released in 1991 on their self-titled debut album. The album also generated another hit titled "Ghetto Bastard" (the track is often referred to as "Everything's Gonna Be Alright"). Fellow New Jersey native Tony D, accused Naughty by Nature of stealing a sample from his breakbeat album Music Makes You Move and using it on their track "O.P.P.". The matter was settled out of court. Later they had multiple hits from their third and fourth albums, titled 19 Naughty III and Poverty's Paradise respectively.

"Hip Hop Hooray" was a success from the album 19 Naughty III. Its video was directed by Spike Lee and featured other hip-hop artists popular in the early 1990's, including Queen Latifah, Eazy-E, and Kris Kross.

The group also scored a major hit with the track "Uptown Anthem", from the soundtrack to the 2Pac movie Juice.

In later years, Naughty by Nature started their own music imprint, Illtown Records, and released an album from their proteges the Rottin Razkals. The group (mainly Kaygee) worked closely with a number of rnb groups over the years particularly Zhané and Next.

An ongoing dispute between Kaygee and Treach saw Kaygee leave Naughty by Nature in late 2000 to concentrate on his Divine Mill label. The remainder of the group released an album in 2002 titled IIcons, using a variety of different producers including Da Beatminerz - the album however received a lukewarm reception from the public. Treach is rumoured to be releasing a solo album soon. Kaygee has been extremely successful building his Divine Mill imprint with 2 platinum plus albums on both (Divine Mill acts) Jaheim and Next as well as songs on albums from Syleena Johnson and Charlie Wilson among others. In May 2006 Kay Gee reunited with Treach and Naughty by Nature at a concert at B.B. King's nightclub. They will be working together on their next album.

Ha, ha, Naughty

Stop frontin' cuz I know you wanna jump on it

Girl, I'm guaranteed to satisfy
Penetration 'till the morning light
It's alright girl, I'll rock your world
And make you wish for the next night
I got what you're waiting for

[Naughty By Nature]
Now here we go
I say I kick looking all rich
Like ya'll picked six in lotto
Money and menage is your motto
We follow with bottles
Of Henney and Remy, the gang and Uncle Vinnie
Get plenty, more like Demi
Come and get me
Are we eye to eye and are we mouth to mouth
Cuz the way down town's a hop skip and a bounce
Ya see I'll penetrate ya inner space
After a winner date, dinner date
Ain't no way, no where, no place I'll spend a day
Penetration

Cuz with this you ain't never got to fuck yourself
See, I'm your water man in your big cahona

On a broke ass mattress
Fix up and ask me how I like it hot

Penetration

[Chorus]

Some say I'm from rags to riches

He was an heir from dook he even ate pussy
At the orgey for me
After they boned us they road us in two lex's and a Lotus
Other bitches showed us
All they zoota's and those E riches are bogus
Penetration

[Chorus: Repeats]
