Viva Las Vegas! The city o f bright
lights, velveeta crooners, and long-
legged showgirls nowj umps onto the
scene with a new female trio. Vegas
has always been known for forecast­
ing successful new talent, and these
young ladies are bound to hit the
jackpot.
Meet 702, three brilliant new stars
lighting up the R&B scene like a
Vegas slot machine. Signed to BIV-
10 Records.
The girls are a riot o f teenage ener­
gy, and can blow like nobody’s busi­
ness. Taking their name from the Las
Vegas zipcode. 702 ism adeupof Irish
and Lemisha Grinstead and Kameelah
Williams. All have been singing al­
most since they could speak.
“The album has something for
everyone,” Michael Bivins adds.
With such a mixture on their debut
album, these ladies are definitely
poised and ready for the spot
light...No Doubt!
