The New Ridaz was created when one of the three NB Ridaz members decided he wanted to do a solo album. Dos and Zig briefly considered doing solo albums, too, but decided they owed it to their fans to stick together. After months of soul searching and set-up work for a fifth NB Ridaz CD, Dos and Zig felt something was missing. Upstairs Records suggested they try their talented female. Now - together as one - the New Ridaz offer up a powerful, creative blend of aural flavors perfectly timed for the crossover marketplace.
