D'Extra Wiley of the 1990s R&B group II D Extreme was also a member of
Maniquin, briefly before signing to MCA Records. The group released a
lone self-titled album for Epic Records in 1989. Its lead single "I
Wanna Ride" was an answer to the hit single "Mercedes Boy" by Pebbles
in both sound and lyric. Both artists' singles were produced and
co-written by Charlie Wilson of Gap Band fame. Lattimore soon left
Maniquin to pursue a solo career, and the group subsequently
disbanded.His own debut album Kenny Lattimore was released on Columbia
Records in 1996. That set included a pair of Top 20 hits: "Never Too
Busy" and the Grammy-nominated "For You", written by high school
friend Kenny Lerum. The album earned Lattimore a win for Best New
Artist at the NAACP Image Awards in 1996, and eventually achieved Gold
