As a teen, Steven would fulfill his prophecy far beyond his expectations by winning a talent show with childhood friends Allen McNeil, Rodney Benford, John Harreld and Reggie Warren that sparked interest from major record labels. Signing to Atlantic Records, these childhood friends from Pasadena would be known to the world as Troop. Troop released their debut single, "Mamacita", from their self-titled debut album in 1988 that reached #2 on Billboard's R&B charts. After the release of their debut album, Troop released "Attitude" in 1990, which included such hit songs as "Spread My Wings" and the Jackson 5 cover of "All I Do is Think of You", which were both #1 on the Billboard R&B charts and remained in the top 10 on the charts for several weeks. At the height of Troop's success, the group appeared in the 1991 urban classic film New Jack City harmonizing their rendition of the O'Jays, "For the Love of Money/Living for the City". Following a stream of hits and an enormous fan base, Troop released "Deepa" in 1992 and remained consistent with yet another #1 single, "Sweet November", on the Billboard R&B charts. Two more albums would follow... "A Lil Sumpin' Sumpin'" in 1994 and "Mayday" in 1998 which both received rave reviews.
