II D Extreme was a 1990s American R&B ensemble associated with the new jack swing genre, featuring members D'Extra Wiley, Randy Gill (brother of Johnny Gill), and Jermaine Mickey. The group gained recognition for their popular track "Cry No More" as well as renditions of "Up on the Roof" and the Gap Band's "Outstanding," under the management of Freda Mays.

According to Alex Henderson from AllMusic, their sophomore album combined hip-hop-inspired production techniques with soulful vocal styles reminiscent of 1970s artists such as Donny Hathaway and L.T.D. The record highlighted harmonious, gospel-tinged singing rather than rap, with production that stood out despite some tracks lacking originality, yet maintained a genuine and heartfelt quality.

In September 1993, "Cry No More" reached number 48 on the Billboard Charts.
