A second St. Lunatics Who's The Boss was released in 2006. It is not supported by the members as the music recording studio Fast Life released the CD because they owned the music. It is a CD of the group's 1996 songs, which are raps over the music of popular 90s songs. In 2002, he was featured on Jermaine Dupri's hit single "Welcome to Atlanta" remix. In 2003, his biggest hit came with "Shake Ya Tailfeather," featuring Nelly and P. Diddy, which appeared on the Bad Boys II soundtrack. That song would later win him a Grammy. Riding the success of "Shake Ya Tailfeather," Murphy Lee released his debut album Murphy's Law later that year.You can download his new mixtapes off his website "murphyleeucme.com".

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and businessman. Often referred to as the King of Pop, or by his initials MJ, Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance, and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971.

In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller", were credited with transforming the medium into an art form and a promotional tool, and the popularity of these videos helped to bring the relatively new television channel MTV to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made him a staple on MTV in the 1990s. Through stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced numerous hip hop, post-disco, contemporary R&B, pop and rock artists.

Ernest "Ernie" Isley (born on March 7, 1952) is a member of the iconic American musical ensemble, The Isley Brothers.

Ernie was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, where his older brothers formed The Isley Brothers, first as a gospel group, then as a secular-singing group.

When Ernie was 11, Jimi Hendrix moved into the Isley household in Englewood for several years as he worked as one of the touring guitarists for the Isleys.

However, his first live gig as a member of his brothers' band, at age 14, was as a drummer in 1966; two years later he did his first professional recording, playing bass on the Isleys' breakthrough funk smash, "It's Your Thing", released in 1969. He got his first guitar in October, 1968. He played electric and acoustic guitar, and drums in the group's early 1970s albums, Get Into Something, Givin' It Back and Brother, Brother, Brother, before fully joining the Isley Brothers fold in 1973, becoming a multi-instrumentalist playing both acoustic and electric guitar, drums and percussion.
