MN8 are an R&B group from the United Kingdom, consisting of band members KG (co-founder, frontman, lead vocals), G-Man (co-founder, lead vocals) - (Source: Big Magazine - January 1995 & Touch Magazine - Feb 1995) - Dee Tails (rapper, choreographer and stylist who's gone on to style major recording artists such as Xzibit, Avril Lavigne, Maxwell and Shania Twain) & Kule T (lead vocals). Unlike many other R&B acts at the time, due to their look, sound and positioning, MN8 had the ability to cross over to mainstream international audiences.
MN8 are best known for their 1995 debut hit single "I've Got A Little Something For You", written by American record producer and composer, Markantoney J. Taylor, better known by his stage name Mark Taylor, which became a success throughout Europe, Asia Pacific and the US. Notably the song was one of P. Diddy's earliest Bad Boy Records remixes. It was featured in the Will Smith film Bad Boys. The song was also Columbia UK's first homegrown top ten record in over a decade, held off from the UK number 1 spot only by Celine Dion's "Think Twice" which topped the UK charts for seven weeks, a feat only not replicated by an artist since The Beatles back in 1965. Nonetheless, MN8 finished the year ahead of Seal's "Kiss from a Rose" as one of the highest selling UK singles for the year. MN8 followed up with a string of consecutive UK Top 10 hits, which proved to critics the band were not a one-hit wonder.
Their debut album "To The Next Level" soon followed and earned a respectable UK chart position, despite the band being unavailable to meet their UK promotional commitments, due to overseas demands as a result of their overnight international popularity.
