The NPG's debut album, Goldnigga featured Tony M. as lead vocalist/rapper. The album relied heavily on rap, while the music itself was reminicent of 1970s funk. Prince participated heavily in writing and performing the music, while Tony wrote and performed raps. Prince provided co-lead vocals on 2 songs, "Black M.F. in the House" and "Johnny", and the 2 were often performed by him in concerts and aftershows.
Prince trimmed down the NPG when he began performing as o(+> in early 1994. This tighter version backed o(+> on The Gold Experience and released Exodus in 1995. Now with Sonny T as lead vocalist, the focus was more on funk. Although several raps were recorded for the album, they were nixed on the final release. o(+> again took a role behind the scenes and adopted the guise of the masked "Tora Tora". He again performed lead vocals on several tracks, sometimes with an altered voice. His participation in this version of the NPG was much more apparent.

Come
The New Power Generation's song "Come On" is a sexually explicit song that is meant to evoke feelings of passion and desire. The song encourages the listener to come and explore their sexual side. The song is extremely graphic with sexual undertones referencing intimate parts of the human anatomy. The lyrics use language to talk about stimulating somebody, making love with someone passionately, oral sex, and other sexual acts. The singer is urging the person to come along with him, explore their body and find sexual liberation.
The song has a strong sexual expression that reinforces the notion of sexual autonomy and liberation. The song is meant to empower people to take control of their sexual lives, and be willing to explore their desires without shame. Additionally, the song advocates for vocal communication in sexual relationships and encourages the recognition of one's needs and assertiveness in sexual contexts. The song isn't only about sex, but also about experiencing life and attempting to see through time.
