The group originally held from Newport News VA and had regional success performing original music and popular covers. The boy band consisted of Randell, Rodney, Jimmy, Jeremy and Kanoa (left - right) and had a mixture of BoyzIIMen meets Color Me Bad. The teens toured with Polygram Recording Artist Lorenzo (Real Love, Make Love To Me) in 1993 following there feature on B.E.T's Teen Summit and had background vocals recorded on a uncredited release by Universal Music Group artist Big Bub (Everybody) in 1997. The song "Everybody" was originally recorded in 1995 under legendary song writer/producer Leon Slyvers III (BlackStreet) as an original for the group but was later released by Big Bub after the group dispersed. The Skool Boyz performed with other major artists doing show openers across Virginia. The Skool Boyz may not have been a major recording act but had all the potential to be a superstar group. 

Unfortunately, music business politics and uncontrollable circumstances kept the group from ever becoming a household name but I can say for fact that the world missed an opportunity to see and hear something beautiful before it ever had a mixture of culture and soul like Color Me Bad or All 4 One.  These are the guys that kicked it off and everywhere they performed they touched those that listened.  This is just the short story and why they are one of The Greatest Unknown.
