Us3 was a British jazz-rap group founded in London in 1992 by producer Geoff Wilkinson. Their 1993 debut album, "Hand on the Torch," was the first platinum-certified album released under Blue Note Records. The album featured the hit "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)," which sampled Herbie Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island." Us3 combined jazz samples with hip-hop beats to create a unique sound. Throughout their career, they released several other albums, including "Broadway & 52nd" (1997) and "An Ordinary Day in an Unusual Place" (2001). The group disbanded in 2014.
