Another Bad Creation were six kids from Atlanta, Georgia who were discovered by New Edition’s Michael Bivins. They secured a recording contract with Motown and released two albums. Their first project, 1991’s Coolin At The Playground Ya Know! went platinum with the help of “Iesha” and “Playground.” They also covered New Edition’s “Jealous Girl” and had two more singles in “Spydermann” and “My World.” A second album, It Ain’t What U Wear It’s How U Play It, from 1993, fell flat commercially and the group broke-up and left the entertainment business. In 2007 they released two mixtapes and new video footage of themselves working on music in their Atlanta hometown.
