The original lineup: Puba, Alamo, Jamar and Sadat

Brand Nubian formed in 1989 after Grand Puba's original group, Masters Of Ceremony, split up. The crew signed a deal with Elektra Records and released their first single "Brand Nubian" in '89. Their debut album, One For All, was released in 1990. Generally acclaimed, the album drew fire for militant rhetoric on tracks like "Drop the Bomb" and "Wake Up". The controversy helped sales, though the album was still not a great commercial success. To date, the album has sold 350,000 units. The video for the single "Wake Up" was also banned from MTV.

Despite the controversy, the single charted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 77.
