The Ultimate Freestyle Experience

TKA is an American freestyle/house boy band who were most prominent in the 1980s and early 1990s, particularly in New York City, and Miami. Their name is an acronym that represents their collective initials, and it was said for a time that it also stood for "Total Knowledge in Action." All of TKA's members are of Puerto Rican descent. Many freestyle fans consider them the kings of that genre, although Kayel seemingly downplayed this label, having jokingly stated, "There are no kings in freestyle. TKA is the best-selling and widely considered the most prominent and successful Latin freestyle band in recorded history.

C+C Music Factory was a dance music production group (led by Robert Clivillés and David Cole) distinguished for having seven #1 Dance/Club Play hits in the early to mid 1990s, as well as several pop crossover hits, one of which "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" reached #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 and R&B singles charts. The group also released singles and albums under alternate names (such as Clivillés + Cole); the last offspring was called MVP. Clivillés and Cole also produced various hits for other artists such as Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Deborah Cooper, and many others.
