Formed in 1993, Quo released their debut single "Huh What", produced by Redman, in 1994, followed by their second single "Blowin' Up (Don't Stop the Music)", produced by Teddy Riley, which became a hip hop hit, charting on both the Hot Rap Songs and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.
On October 25, 1994, the duo's self-titled album was released. The following year, the duo's third and final single "Quo Funk" was released, produced by Battlecat, which heavily sampled The Jacksons' "This Place Hotel" and charted at #2 on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart.
After the duo's disbandment following the release of "Quo Funk", Robson became a successful choreographer, producer, and actor, while Turrentine became a successful international supermodel, producer, and actor. Turrentine married actress Reagan Gomez-Preston in 1999, with whom he has two children, a daughter named Scarlett Annette Turrentine (born May 14, 2007) and a son named Tyger Attila Turrentine (born April 2, 2011).
