Impromp2 were an smooth jazz and hip-hop duo active from 1995 to 2009.[1]

History

The duo was founded in 1995 and consisted of trumpeter Johnny Britt and rapper Sean Thomas.[2][3] They were signed to MoJazz, then a subsidiary of Motown Records and released their debut album, You're Gonna Love This, the same year.[4] The album had two hits, "Enjoy Yourself", which peaked at No. 72 on the Top R&B Albums chart,[citation needed] and "Get Me Off", which peaked at No. 122 on the same chart.[5]

When MoJazz was dissolved in early 1997, Impromp2 was folded into Motown. Their next album, Can't Get Enough, which was finished at the time, was in limbo.[5][6] The album was eventually released in April 1997,[7] spawning one charting single, "Sweet Thang", which reached No. 101 on the Top R&B Albums chart.[5]

After a seven-year hiatus, the group released their third album, The Definition of Love, during August 2003 via Big3 Records.[8] It was commercially unsuccessful, not producing any charting hits.[5] They released their next album, It Is What It Is, in December 2009.[5] It produced their most successful single, "Luv 2 Ball", which reached No. 69 on the Top R&B Albums chart.[5] The group disbanded the same year, with Britt stating that it was due to him pursuing solo ventures.[9]
