2NU (later 2NU2) is an American pop music group based in Seattle, Washington. Their music consists of spoken word performances accompanied by beats and sound effects. They are best known for their single "This is Ponderous", which reached 46 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1991.[1] In 2009, their song "Crossroads" was featured in a television commercial for Johnnie Walker.

Name

When "This is Ponderous" began getting radio play in 1990, the band had not formally come together. A DJ introducing the song said it was from a group "too new" to have a name, and "2NU" came from that.[2]
