The Chicago-based group Subway, was composed of Eric McNeal, Keith
Thomas, Trerail Puckett and Roy Jones. The group was signed by
Michael Bivins (of New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe) to his Motown-distributed
label Biv 10. They came on the scene in 1995 with the hit single "This
Lil' Game We Play" featuring labelmates 702 that reached #15
on the Billboard charts. The song was produced and written by Gerald
Levert and Edwin Nicholas and was billed as "Subway featuring
702". The single set the group off to a good start, going
gold and selling nearly a million copies.
Their debut album was titled Good Times and was released later that
year. The cover art and title of the album was inspired by the same-named
CBS hit sitcom of the '70s. Written and produced by Gerald Levert
and Edwin Nicholas, the album packed some solid hits such as the
aforementioned "This Lil' Game We Play."
