Data Insight
Treach writes on all 14 tracks, Vin Rock and Kay Gee on ten each, and not one track has only the three of them on it. Every song brings somebody in from outside, which is a different group from the one that wrote Poverty's Paradise on its own.
IIcons came out on TVT in May 2002, reached number 15 on the Billboard 200 and number five on the R&B chart. "Feels Good (Don't Worry Bout a Thing)" with 3LW reached number 53 on the Billboard Hot 100. The group split later that year.
