Sounds like Athena played herself. She played them first and then went running back while the chips didn't stack. Keith only did what the labels put him up to do. None of them own their masters. They're all trapped including Keith.
This sounds almost exactly like the TLC story. Betrayal of members, selfishness, deception and then contractrual ignorance and not having a lawyer look at it. Loyalty and lawyers could have made this whole story turn out different.
Not true. Most of the lawyers were in the industry pockets. As you can see from black actors as well, most of the black people in the industry got played no matter what.

Hey Hollyweird do get rid of artist n the media is behind everything they put out. This been going on way before we were born. Just now most folks eyes r open. Please don't believe the media hun! These artists lives we're taken due to plain ole money. MJ had what Sony wanted that Beatles catalog. Paul McCartney didn't even have to enough to get it n actually got upset with MJ about it. n MJ told him it's just business but he also told him he was going to get it.

Maaaan! They should have been a big deal. When i first saw them with Keith on the Twisted video, they had the IT factor. It sucks to see they didn't reach their peak.
Athena Cage's story is a lot like Xscape's Latocha Scott's in the sense that she had handlers in her ear encouraging her to use the group's success to parlay into a solo career that ultimately went no where. Before trying to pull a Diana Ross or Beyonce and break free from the group, make sure that you have the type of support system that's willing to help you comfortably transition to your solo career. Diana had Barry Gordy & Motown behind her, & Beyonce had her manager/dad, Matt Knowles, behind her. The only support Athena had was from a man who made her entire group sign a seven-album contract. Bad move...
Diana and Beyonce had massive success and hits in their groups! That is the biggest difference! Same wirh MJ, same with Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson, Jeffrey Osborne, Luther Vandross, Pattie Labell...and on and on!
@@gabriellew.4847 That's true of Diana and Beyonce. However, there have also been cases of people who started in groups that had few-to-no massive hits, but experienced much greater success as solo artists--Bobby Valentino, Angie Stone, Anita Baker, Mikki Howard, Keith Sweat, Toni Braxton, etc. So, some people are able to successfully break out from their group despite their group's lack of success. Athena didn't have a powerful machine backing and promoting her. She lacked the social capital that others had.
"I Like" was a part of my 90's after hours rotation for sure. It's unfortunate what happened them. There's no doubt they had plenty more good music in them.
Such a shame they were dogged out. For me one of the best R&B albums of all time. I had eagerly awaited their second. Their story should be made into a movie. so can recoup at least some of what they could have made. ❤
Wooow!!! These artists always get messed around by their producers and my only answer is greed. It’s sad because these ladies could sing and they had bops for years
These girls were definitely one of my favorite female rnb groups . … it’s just another case of the industry that’s the devil game . They’ll forever stay in my playlist. Salute 🫡
3:25 I swear if you’re a group that gets signed my 1st question would be, ‘so how long do we have before ya’ll split us up? I need to plan my funds accordingly 🤨👀
You on the right page!!! But they would lie and tell you they're not going to. The Industry hates being honest about their intentions. If you did that up front it would kill the pleasure they get from deviously splitting you up. They thrive on dark energy. That's why they always do everything deceptively when they could just do everything out front.
Is there anyone that actually had a good experience with record labels/music industry? Seems like everyone gets snookered in some way or another, especially back in the day when a record deal actually involved records! Like, $20 a CD that costs $3 to manufacture. TLC, Toni Braxton, Hi-Five should've been set for life, SMH....
“I Like” is one of my all time favorite 90’s R&B tracks, I can’t say enough about it. Easily a classic record and it’s a shame that Kut Klose never really got to reach their full potential. I’m glad to see they are still doing shows. Now here’s one for you, whatever happened with 90s R&B duo Fabu had that one song “Just Roll”? They were out around the same time as Kut Klose and faded away. I heard one of the girls was doing voice over work but there’s not a lot of info and their music isn’t even available on streaming platforms 🤷🏽♂️
The cream always rises to the top, in those groups, there's always that one with the signature voice that people just love, Athena was THAT voice for them!...it's like how KoKo is THE ONE in SWV, or Dawn in En Vogue, or RL in Next, etc.
I remember Keith Sweat promising fans he would produce a solo album for Jacci McGhee, who sang with him on “Make it Last Forever”. Thirty-seven years later, it still hasn’t happened.
Yes. I can understand that they were very young and naive. Most of us wouldn’t know in our late teens/early twenties. They didn’t know what they were getting into, and the music executives take full advantage of that.
Those record companies are too damn GREEDY! Sweat could've looked out for those girls better than he did, he could've still been making money with them till this day!
How many of us always ask what happened to so and so? A lot of us just think oh they must’ve fell off. When in reality they probably had problems just like this , which is so common and sad. That’s why the devil is the leader in the secular community.
They probably want to record to old school analog tape, which sounds much much much better than that harsh sounding music they record on cheap computers nowadays.. but recording to tape is gonna cost you a grip..
So many interchangable girl groups from the 90s. Kut Klose, Changing Faces, Mokenstef, Earth Gyrlz, Fabu, Pure Soul, Nuttin Nyce, Sa-Deuce, Blackgirl... the list goes on...

Stop signing deals without reading and having a lawyer look over it before you sign anything period,you can't blame him ,blame yourselves for not reading the contract and not having it looked over by a lawyer before you signed it,if it doesn't feel right have multiple lawyers look over it before you sign anything
Most artists start broke and don't have money for legal fees out of pocket. Entertainment lawyers are not cheap. It has always taken money to make money. Sad facts....
9 times out of 10, the lawyers tht look over the contracts are the ones who work for the company you're signing to. Also, if you're broke and just starting out, how are you going to afford a lawyer to go over the contract.
NOT SHOCKED AT ALL WITH MR. K. S. . MY NEIGHBOR WAS HIS SISTER DORTHY SWEAT ( MS. FAYE) LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. SAME FATHER. HE ONCE OFFERED HER CONCERT TICKETS 🎫 ONLY IF SHE DIDNT TELL THAT SHE WAS HIS SISTER. SHE TOLD HIM TO KICK ROCKS 🪨. I DONT BLAME HER . 1990’s
Look folks need to learn to do research for themselves. People remember that. You are accountable for yourself. Read, read, read folks. If you have a lawyer, don't sit back & think they going to go all out for you cause it's their job. No research & read learn for yourself. Please don't leave your future in other's hands. Doctors lawyers stars they are just people.
I always wondered what happened to them........ Well now I know and that's a shame. Damn and Keith I'm surprised but I shouldn't be knowing the industry just keep throwing people out on there azzzzz.....
We have to quit blaming others for our own ignorance. These people are desperate when they sign these deals. It is their fault that they are desperate. If they had more patients and they put their time and effort into education on the business before entering it, then they would be better off.these narratives that are always painted of the industry is just crazy. These people are doing this stuff to themselves.
You can say that in today's world. But back then almost nobody, especially those who were that young haven't had a clue about how shady the industry was. And they even thought they were doing the right thing by having a lawyer. In today's world, we all know better because of the internet and social media.
@@thehighestofthehigh6017 I guarantee, you or the average person can't read an industry contract and fully make out what the terms and agreements are. There mistake was trusting their industry lawyer which was playing both sides of the fence.

NOT SHOCKED AT ALL WITH MR. K. S. . MY NEIGHBOR WAS HIS SISTER DORTHY SWEAT ( MS. FAYE) LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. SAME FATHER. HE ONCE OFFERED HER CONCERT TICKETS 🎫 ONLY IF SHE DIDNT TELL THAT SHE WAS HIS SISTER. SHE TOLD HIM TO KICK ROCKS 🪨. I DONT BLAME HER . 1990’s
That’s bold, all 3 were great singers
good job on the details with the info on this video.
Dang everyone getting exposed nd yes this group had it all
Damn this should be a crime do ppl like this bad contracts q
Look folks need to learn to do research for themselves. People remember that. You are accountable for yourself. Read, read, read folks. If you have a lawyer, don't sit back & think they going to go all out for you cause it's their job. No research & read learn for yourself. Please don't leave your future in other's hands. Doctors lawyers stars they are just people.
All this time I thought they were sisters❤
Me too, I thought they were Sisters.
It's sad and unfair
I always wondered what happened to them........ Well now I know and that's a shame. Damn and Keith I'm surprised but I shouldn't be knowing the industry just keep throwing people out on there azzzzz.....
Loved their music. That's selfish Keith
If they trying to raise 100,000 dollars they better get a job good luck on that one.
All they gotta do is do commercial jingles and they will make their money back fo sho😊
We have to quit blaming others for our own ignorance. These people are desperate when they sign these deals. It is their fault that they are desperate. If they had more patients and they put their time and effort into education on the business before entering it, then they would be better off.these narratives that are always painted of the industry is just crazy. These people are doing this stuff to themselves.
You can say that in today's world. But back then almost nobody, especially those who were that young haven't had a clue about how shady the industry was. And they even thought they were doing the right thing by having a lawyer. In today's world, we all know better because of the internet and social media.
@@LIVEFRMNYC Reading was and always will be fundamental. You better know what you are signing up for. Thats no one else job but yours!
@@thehighestofthehigh6017 I guarantee, you or the average person can't read an industry contract and fully make out what the terms and agreements are. There mistake was trusting their industry lawyer which was playing both sides of the fence.
