Oaktown's 3.5.7
Oaktown's 3.5.7 was a rap group formed by MC Hammer in 1987, via his Bust It Records label and Capitol Records. Members included Sweet L.D. (Suhayla Sabir), Lil P (Phyllis Charles) and Terrible T (Tabatha Zee King-Brooks).
Hammer dubbed the group's name as a salute to their hometown of Oakland, and to emphasize the power of the trio as dancers (comparing them to a .357 Magnum). They started out as backup singers for MC Hammer on tour before branching out as their own group.
Their 1989 album, Wild & Loose, peaked at number 126 on the Billboard 200 and number 23 on the Top R&B Albums chart. Their single, "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah", peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart.
The group disbanded in 1992.
