The U-Krew was an R&B/hip-hop music quintet from Portland, Oregon that saw its greatest success in 1990. The members of the U-Krew were Kevin Morse (lead vocals), Larry Bell (Producer keyboard/drum programmer), Lavell Alexander, James McClendon, and Hakim Muhammad. They were originally billed as The Untouchable Krew when formed in October 1984.
After shortening their name to The U-Krew, the band released its only album in 1989, eponymously titled The U-Krew. The album peaked at #93 on the Billboard 200[1] and included the hit singles "If U Were Mine" and "Let Me Be Your Lover" which reached number 21 and number 68 respectively on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990.[2] The band never released another album.
Their song "Ugly" was featured in the cult sci-fi film, I Come in Peace.
