Total (girl group)

Total is an American R&B girl group and one of the signature acts of the Bad Boy Records imprint during the mid 1990s.[1] The group consists of founding members Kima Raynor, Keisha Spivey, and Pamela Long.[1] Total is best known for their feature on Mase's "What You Want", as well as their hits "Kissin' You", "Can't You See" (featuring The Notorious B.I.G.), and "What About Us?" and "Trippin'", both featuring Missy Elliott. Long also sung the chorus of the Notorious B.I.G.'s hit song "Hypnotize", although she was not officially credited.[1] Total made their first appearance singing the hook on The Notorious B.I.G.'s debut single, "Juicy", widely considered one of the greatest hip-hop songs of all time.[1][2][3][4]
