about
H-Town is an American R&B vocal group from Houston, Texas, formed in 1990 by brothers Keven "Dino" Conner (1974–2003) and Solomon "Shazam" Conner, along with their friend Darryl "G.I." Jackson. The group grew up in Houston's 3rd Ward neighborhood and began performing together while attending Jack Yates High School. Originally known as "The Gents," they recorded a locally released album, "It's No Dream," with producer Phil Blackmon, featuring the ballad "A Time for Us." After sending a demo tape to Luther "Luke" Campbell of Luke Records, the group was signed to the label, with Bishop "Stick" Burrell producing and positioning Dino Conner as the lead singer. The name "H-Town" was adopted from the nickname for Houston. H-Town's debut album, "Fever for Da Flavor," was released on April 15, 1993, and included the single "Knockin' Da Boots," which became the group's signature song, reaching number one on the US R&B chart and number three on the Billboard Hot 100. The follow-up single, "Lick U Up," peaked at number 21. The group participated in the 1993 Coca-Cola Summer Fest tour alongside Shai, SWV, Jade, Naughty by Nature, Silk, and LL Cool J. In 1994, H-Town won the Soul Train Music Award for Best New Artist and contributed the single "Part Time Lover" to the "Above the Rim" soundtrack, which reached number nine on the R&B chart. That same year, the group joined Black Men United, collaborating with artists including Silk, Portrait, and Boyz II Men on the single "U Will Know" for
