Fad gained popularity with the line-up that included rappers: MC J.B. (Juana Burns), Baby-D (Dania Birks), and Sassy C. (Michelle Franklin).

The group's Most notable hit was 1988's "Supersonic," which made J.J. Fad the first female rap group to earn a Grammy nomination. Their second album did not fare as well and the group disbanded shortly after. In 2006 Fergie (Black Eyed Peas) used it for her song entitled " Fergalicious", which went 5 times platinum and put J.J. Fad back to the forefront. They now are working on a new album and touring around the Nation doing Old School Shows and guest appearances.
