A sibling quintet of R&B vocalists, the Los Angeles native Harrell brothers -- Anthony, Cheyenne (aka Poppa), Grady, Jacob, and Jared -- signed with Def Jam and released their self-titled album as Brutha in late 2008.

Brutha, featuring collaborations with Ne-Yo, Jazze Pha, Elvis "BlacElvis" Williams, and Dwayne "D-Town" Nesmith, coincided with the first season of their BET reality program, Brothers to Brutha
