As a young man he ventured out into many fields of entertainment including Djing and Break Dancing. But it was on one fateful afternoon in 1987 when Sammy was walking down the street singing along to his walk-man an A&R person from Atlantic records approached him with the opportunity to begin his career as a recording artist on that label. Sammy became the third member of a group call “Release”. The Group recorded three singles. The Singles were produced by Janet Padlad, Patrick Adams, & Mico “Producer for Steven Spielberg’s Star Wars Soundtrack”. Club 1018’s Host Richie Rich took an interest in the group and started managing them. The group performed at several clubs including “Roseland”, “1018”, “Broadway 96’, and many of New York’s upscale clubs alongside many of freestyle’s biggest names.

Frederick Brandon Williams ;(born February 13, 1966), better known by his stage name Freedom Williams is an American hip hop and dance music performer, who gained fame as the lead vocalist on C+C Music Factory's biggest hits
As Audio Two, Brooklyn-based brothers and former Awesome Foursome members Gizmo Dee ;(Nat Robinson) and Milk Dee ;(Kirk Robinson) broke out with "Top Billin'," the B-side of "Make It Funky," their debut single. Produced by Daddy O of Stetsasonic, "Top Billin'" became a hip-hop classic, and was sampled, referenced, and even covered following its 1987 release. Issued on Robinson family operation First Priority, the track led to a distribution deal with Atlantic. Through that major label, Audio Two, who had also attained clout as the producers credited on early MC Lyte singles like "I Cram 2 Understand U (Sam)" and "10% Dis," released a pair of albums. What More Can I Say? ;(1988) cracked the Billboard 200. I Don't Care: The Album ;(1990) wasn't nearly as successful, marred by some viciously homophobic rhymes; Atlantic head Ahmet Ertegun said he wouldn't have released the objectionable material if he had heard it prior to release. A third Audio Two album, First Dead Indian, was recorded but shelved, and the duo subsequently split. Milk released a 1994 EP on Rick Rubin's American Recordings and was behind Eamon's Top 20 pop hit "Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back)" the following decade. Gizmo, often credited as "You Can Ask" Giz, went on to mix and engineer dozens of recordings by the likes of Jaheim, Tyrese, and Faith Evans.
