No Good (originally known as No Good but So Good) was a hip hop ensemble hailing from Miami, Florida. The group was founded by Derrick "Mr. Fatal" Hill, Tracy "T-Nasty" Lattimer, and John "Slo" Strachtan. After Strachtan left the lineup, the act continued as a duo.
History
In 1992, Derrick Hill, Tracy Lattimer, and John Strachtan started their careers as dancers and hype men supporting rapper Luther "Luke" Campbell. Initially performing as a dance crew named No Good But So Good, they later shifted focus to rapping. They gained considerable popularity within Miami's club scene. Their first album, Up to No Good, produced by Campbell, was released in December 1996 and included singles such as "Get Your Shake On" and "Six O'Clock in the Morning." In 1998, they featured on Luke's track "Raise the Roof", which climbed to number 26 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
After Strachtan's departure, the remaining members abbreviated their name to No Good. Their 1998 release "Lizard, Lizard," featuring rapper Jiggie, achieved a top ten position on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart. The duo collaborated with Jiggie to produce the album Lizard Lizard, released in February 1999. Subsequently, No Good signed with Artistdirect Records and launched their third album Gameday, PBB in May 2002. This record contained the successful single "Ballin' Boy," which marked their second time topping the Hot Rap Songs chart.
