Whodini is among the first rap groups to cultivate a high-profile national following for hip-hop music, and made significant inroads on Urban radio. 
The Brooklyn, New York-based trio consisted of vocalist/chief lyricist Jalil Hutchins, (one of the few rappers to go by his real name), co-vocalist John Fletcher, aka Ecstasy (so-named before the drug trend), who tended to wear a Zorro-style hat as his trademark; and DJ Drew Carter, aka Grandmaster Dee.
