They eventually started an R&B; group and were discovered by Teddy Riley of Blackstreet fame at a local talent contest. After graduating from High School they signed with Riley as a group. Eventually they began producing as "The Neptunes" and developed a distinctive sound that was first heard on Noreaga's 1998 Superthug track.
