Naughty by Nature is a US hip hop group that at the time of its formation in 1991, consisted of the MCs Treach, Vinnie and the DJ Kay Gee - the group formed in East Orange, New Jersey, referred to as "Illtown" in the 1980s. The group first appeared on the music scene in the late 1980's releasing an album titled "The Independent Leaders", under their then name "The New Style". The album generated the minor hit "Scuffin' Those Knees". After the release of their first album, the group was subsequently mentored by fellow New Jersey native Queen Latifah and consequently changed their name.

Their first hit as Naughty By Nature was a track titled "O.P.P" ,which sampled the Jackson 5's hit "ABC" and was released in 1991 on their self-titled debut album. The album also generated another tilted "Ghetto Bastard" (the track is often referred to as "Everything's Gonna Be Alright"). Fellow Trenton New Jersey native Tony D, accused NBN of stealing a sample from his breakbeat album "Music Makes You Move" and using it on their track "O.P.P.". The matter was settled out of court. Later they had multiple hits from their third and fourth albums, titled "19 Naughty III" and "Poverty's Paradise" respectively.
