Career
They released their self-titled debut album, D-Cru in 2000.[4][2] The album featured their biggest hit, the ballad "I Will Be Waiting",[5] a top-ten hit in Canada. The album's other main single on the Canadian charts (reaching number 11 and remaining on the charts for six months) was "Show Me",[6] which sampled the chorus from the song "Show Me the Way", which was originally a hit for Mackenzie's old group The West End Girls in 1991.
D-Cru band member Craig Smart later contributed back-up vocals on two tracks for Master P's album Game Face.[7]
They received a Juno Award nomination in 2001 for Best R&B/Soul Recording for "I Will Be Waiting".[8][9]
