Bio
Ruff Endz, the hip-hop soul duo of David "Davinch" Chance and Dante "Chi" Jordan, formed in Baltimore in the mid-'90s. Named after their trouble finding a record deal, the group came up in West Baltimore, originally part of a quartet. Davinch and Chi soon found chemistry between their voices, and struck out on their own by 1994. In 1999, they signed to Epic Records, an arm of Sony Music and soon released their first album, Love Crimes, in 2000. The first single, "No More", reached #1 on the R&B/Hip Hop charts and peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2002, the duo released their second album, Someone To Love You, which peaked in the top 10 on the R&B charts and top 50 on Billboard. The album’s first single, “Someone To Love You”, went on to spend 11 weeks at #1 on the AC charts with their second single, “Cash, Money, Cars, Clothes” rounding out the top 50 on Billboard. They have shared the stage with music industry icons such as Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly, and Christina Aguilera while also featured on CNN, MTV, BET, Top of the Pops (UK), and Much Music (Canada) just to name a few. Their music has been showcased on several feature films including Martin Lawrence’s ”Blue Streak”, Eddie Murphy’s “I Spy”, and Ice Cube’s “Barber Shop”. Their success has grown and crossed US borders to headline their own tours throughout Europe and Japan building a major international fan base. After splitting in 2004 to pursue solo projects, the group has decided to join forces once again to bring their fans their original sound of smooth vocals and classic R&B melodies. With their new & long-awaited album, due out in 2016, Ruff Endz is bringing back “real” R&B music!
