Bio From All Music Guide
Pre-teenage R&B sensations in the early '90s, Immature were formed in Los Angeles by producer/mentor Chris Stokes around barely ten-year-olds Marques "Batman" Houston, Jerome "Romeo" Jones, and Kelton "LDB" Kessee. The trio recorded its debut album, On Our Worst Behavior, for Virgin in 1992 and scored a modest R&B hit with "Tear It Up" (from the animated film Bebe's Kids). After moving to MCA for 1994's Playtyme Is Over, Immature scored with the pop hits "Never Lie" and "Constantly," pushing the album into gold territory. The trio then appeared in the Kid 'n Play film House Party 3. Third album We Got It also did well, though no single cracked the Top 40; "Feel the Funk," from the movie Dangerous Minds, came the closest, at number 46. For their fourth LP, The Journey, Immature flirted with changing their name — the obvious choice was Mature — but decided to focus the change in direction on the music. The Journey did well on the R&B charts, but failed to translate to a pop success. They switched to IMx for 1999's Introducing IMx, but their sound wasn't much different than before. The new millennium saw the release of a greatest-hits package, issued in February 2001. - John Bush

Marques "Batman" Houston's Bio From All Music Guide
A member of Immature/IMx, Marques "Batman" Houston debuted as a solo artist in 2003 with MH (Interscope). Since joining Immature as a young adolescent in the early '90s, Houston has crossed over into television as a recurring cast member of Sister Sister, and he has taken on production duties with some of his IMx mates (as Platinum Status) for B2K and Destiny's Child. Along with producing some of his own material on MH, he enlisted the services of Kowan "Q" Paul, Kenny Whitehead, and Platinum Status member Troy Taylor. Naked followed in April of 2005. During the interim, he appeared in Fat Albert, continued songwriting and production work (Omarion, N2U, O'Ryan, Young Rome), and popped up on a mix of 50 Cent's "Candy Shop." Veteran, released in 2007, marked Houston's 15th year in the music business.- Andy Kellman

Romeo/Young Rome's Bio From All Music Guide
Just as Immature eventually morphed into IMx, Jerome "Romeo" Jones officially became Young Rome, and set to securing a piece of pop-rap real estate. In spring 2004, coming off a supporting role in the B2K dance vehicle You Got Served, Rome dropped the single "After Party," which featured an introduction from his B2K pal Omarion. "Welcome to my after party/Hope that you're feeling naughty" — with its chattering beats and blatant sentiment, the cut was hedonistic fluff in a direct line from the Cassidy/R. Kelly collaboration "Hotel" and Chingy's "Holidae In." The full-length Food For Thought was slated by Universal for a June release. - Johnny Loftus
