P.A. (Parental Advisory) Origin College Park, Georgia, U.S. Genres Hip-hop Years active 1991–2000 Labels Savvy MCA DreamWorks Members Mello KP Big Reese

**P.A.** (short for [Parental Advisory](/source/Parental_Advisory)) was an American [Southern hip-hop](/source/Southern_hip-hop) trio, part of the [Atlanta](/source/Atlanta)-based musical collective [Dungeon Family](/source/Dungeon_Family) and composed of rappers James "Mello" Hollins, [Kawan "K.P." Prather](/source/Kawan_Prather), and DJ [Maurice "Big Reese" Sinclair](/source/Big_Reese).

They were discovered by American singer [Pebbles](/source/Pebbles_(singer)), and became the first act from Dungeon Family to sign a major label recording contract, with her label [Savvy Records](/source/Savvy_Records). The label only released their debut studio album, *[Ghetto Street Funk](/source/Ghetto_Street_Funk)* (1993) and they signed with [DreamWorks Records](/source/DreamWorks_Records) to release their second album, *[Straight No Chase](/source/Straight_No_Chase)* (1998). The latter spawned the single "Like We Do", which entered the [Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs](/source/Hot_R%26B%2FHip-Hop_Songs) chart.[1] Another single from the album, "Reservations" was included on the *[soundtrack](/source/Blade_(soundtrack))* for the 1998 film [*Blade*](/source/Blade_(1998_film)). The trio's third album, *[My Life, Your Entertainment](/source/My_Life%2C_Your_Entertainment)* (2000), was also released by DreamWorks and served as their final release.[2]
