CRU was a hip hop trio from the United States, composed of The One Chadio, Mighty Ha, and Yogi, and was signed under Def Jam Recordings. Their initial appearance was on the 1995 remix of "We Got It Goin' On" by the R&B ensemble Changing Faces. In 1997, they launched their first album, Da Dirty 30, which included the singles "Just Another Case" and "Bubblin'". After releasing this album, the group parted ways; subsequently, Yogi shifted his focus to producing hip hop music as part of Puffy Combs's Hitmen Production Team.

After a period away from the spotlight, The One Chadio returned as a solo performer, delivering albums such as Internal Insurgency and External Insurgency. In May 2023, he unveiled And Still, an album produced exclusively by Talat ILgar. Currently, The One Chadio is developing a self-titled record that revisits Boom Bap influences, mainly produced by Cee Da Cuban with additional input from Talat Ilgar and himself. This project will initially be released solely in vinyl format. Plans for another forthcoming album titled Cold Flames are already underway.
