IMx (formerly Immature)

 

Pre-teenage R&B sensations in the early '90s, Immature was formed in Los Angeles
by producer/mentor Chris Stokes around barely ten-year-olds Marques "Batman"
Houston, Jerome"Romeo" Jones and Kelton "LDB" Kessee. The trio recorded
their debut album On Our Worst Behavior for Virgin in 1992 and scored a modest
R&B hit with "Tear It Up" (from the animated film Bebe's Kids). After moving
to MCA for 1994's Playtyme Is Over, Immature scored with the pop hits "Never
Lie" and "Constantly," pushing the album into gold territory. The trio then
appeared in the Kid 'N Play film House Party 3. Third album We Got It also
did well, though no single cracked the Top 40; "Feel the Funk," from the movie
Dangerous Minds, came the closest, at number 46. For their fourth LP The
Journey, Immature flirted with changing their name -- the obvious choice
was Mature -- but decided to focus the change in direction onthe music. The
Journey did well on the R&B charts, but failed to translate to a pop success.
After that they decided to change their name after all, they would now be
called IMx. Their first album with that new name was appropiatetly called
Introducing IMx followed by a second one in 2001 entitled IMx.
