'''69 Boyz''' is an American [Miami bass](/source/Miami_bass) and [hip hop](/source/hip_hop_music) duo from [Jacksonville, Florida](/source/Jacksonville%2C_Florida), consisting of '''Thrill Da Playa''' (Van Bryant) and '''Fast Cash''' (Barry Wright), and are best known for their 1994 hit record "[Tootsee Roll](/source/Tootsee_Roll)". The group was created by Bryant with the assistance of producers Nathaniel "C.C. Lemonhead" Orange and "Jay Ski" McGowan (of [Quad City DJs](/source/Quad_City_DJs) and [95 South](/source/95_South)),[{{cite web |last1=Glorioso |first1=Jen |title=69 Boyz Celebrating 30 Years of ‘Tootsee Roll’ At Downtown Tampa Bar This Weekend |url=https://wild941.com/2024/06/06/69-boyz-performing-at-gen-x-tavern/ |website=Wild 941}}] and were produced by Bass Mechanics.
==Career==
In 1992, Thrill da Playa and Fast Cash teamed up to form '''69 Boyz''', which the group claimed was inspired by both members' birth year of 1969 and the [sexual act](/source/69_(sex_position)) of the same name.[{{cite web|url=https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/ring-2026-tootsie-roll-69-100155691.html|title=Ring in 2026 with 'Tootsie Roll' and 69 Boyz at Montgomery NYE|first=Shannon|last=Heupel|work=[Montgomery Advertiser](/source/Montgomery_Advertiser)|publisher=[Yahoo](/source/Yahoo)|date=December 24, 2025|accessdate=May 11, 2026}}]
69 Boyz achieved its first and only major success in the summer of 1994 with the single "[Tootsee Roll](/source/Tootsee_Roll)", off their first album ''[199Quad](/source/199Quad)''. The track topped the ''[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))'' [Hot Rap Singles](/source/Hot_Rap_Singles) chart, peaked at #8 on the [Hot 100](/source/Billboard_Hot_100), and #9 on the [Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs](/source/Hot_R%26B%2FHip-Hop_Songs) chart, and was certified platinum. The followup single, "[Kitty Kitty](/source/Kitty_Kitty)", did not fare as well, reaching #51 on the Hot 100, #36 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles, and #6 on Hot Rap Singles. 69 Boyz were nominated for three 1995 [Soul Train Music Awards](/source/Soul_Train_Music_Awards).[{{Cite magazine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_1gEAAAAMBAJ|magazine=The Crisis|last=Brewington|first=Ron|date=April 1995|publisher=The Crisis Publishing Company, Inc.|language=en|title=Boyz II Men Dominate American Music Awards|page= 34}}]
The 1995 single "Five O, Five O (Here They Come)" was recorded for the ''[Bad Boys](/source/Bad_Boys_(soundtrack))'' soundtrack. The following year, the track "[Hoop N Yo Face](/source/Hoop_N_Yo_Face)" was featured on the ''[Sunset Park](/source/Sunset_Park_(film))'' soundtrack and peaked at #95 on the Billboard Hot 100.
69 Boyz' second album, ''[The Wait Is Over](/source/The_Wait_Is_Over)'', was released in July 1998 and featured the single "[Woof Woof](/source/Woof_Woof)" for the 1998 film ''[Dr. Dolittle](/source/Dr._Dolittle_(film))''. The song reached number 31 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100.[{{cite web |last1=Singleton |first1=Mya |title=Hip-hop gems from the 1990s that have been largely forgotten |url=https://www.yardbarker.com/entertainment/articles/hip_hop_songs_from_the_90s_you_forgot_about/s1__40684141#slide_1 |website=Yardbarker}}]
The group's third album, ''2069'', was released in April 2000 and featured one single, "How We Roll", which reached #5 on the ''Billboard'' Hot Rap Singles chart. ''Trunk Funk 101'' (2001) was their fourth and final album and also featured only one single, the non-charting "She's Skurred".
