Black Buddafly are an R&B duo comprising Aminata "Amina" Schmahl, and her twin sister Safietou "Jazz" Schmahl, both born in 1983 to a German mother and a Senegalese father. There are two other sisters and a brother in the family, and together with older sister Sophie, the three girls put the band together in Los Angeles, but launched their career in Germany under the name of Choyce. The twin sisters were still in their teens when Choyce signed a contract with Germany's RCA, and while touring in 2004 they changed their name to Black Buddafly. Around this time they met and impressed Russell Simmons, who signed them to his RSMG label, and they began work on their debut album. Their first Def Jam single, 'Rock-A-Bye', was released in 2005, and a year later, the label released the 'Bad Girl' single featuring rapper Fabolous, after which the departure of Sophie reduced the band to a duo, although this new line-up would not get around to releasing any new material. A mixtape compilation 'Worst Of.... Black Buddafly: The Forgotten MP3s' arrived in 2011, and in 2013 Amina left the group and joined the cast of VH1's television series 'Love and Hip-Hop', before launching a solo career. The Def Jam album was therefore consigned to the vaults, never to be heard, but copies have leaked, and so here is the lost 2007 debut album from Black Buddafly, which is completely new material, and does not feature any of the songs from the 'Worst Of...' mixtape.
