Together, Sisqo, Woody, Nokio and Jazz have crafted a record that is sure to please the many fans they amassed through their self-titled 1996 first album while allowing them to express even more of their ever-expanding musicality. "We had a lot more creative control for this album," says Nokio, while Sisqo adds, ("And we held back a few things on the first record.") "With ENTER THE DRU, we're inviting people into our world."

ENTER THE DRU is a sizzling showcase for their studio skills, with members of the group involved with the production on thirteen of the album's sixteen tracks. Super hitmaker Babyface co-wrote and co-produced the first single ("These Are The Times"); famed writer / producer Daryl Simmons (who produced "In My Bed" and "Never Make A Promise" on the first album) was responsible for two cuts, including a heart-wrenching remake of old school legends The Dells' "The Love We Had (Stays On My Mind)"; while Grammy-winner David Foster co-produced the Diane Warren ballad, "What Do I Do With The Love." Other notable producers who contributed to the project included Baby Dave, newcomer Dutch, Warryn "Smiley" Campbell, J. Funk and Guy Roche.
