===''Sons of the P''=== The group's second full album featured two singles, "No Nose Job" and "Kiss You Back", the latter of which featured multi-layered choruses and background vocals sung by Boni Boyer, who briefly worked with Digital Underground shortly after her stint with [[Prince (musician)|Prince]]'s Sign of the Times/Love Sexy band.<ref>{{Cite news|url= http://www.discomusic.com/people-more/1552_0_11_0_C/|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20031028204648/http://www.discomusic.com/people-more/1552_0_11_0_C/|url-status= dead|archive-date= October 28, 2003|title= Boni Boyer (Bonita Louisa Boyer)|author= Bernard Lopez|publisher= DiscoMusic.com|date= December 4, 1996}}</ref> Despite the fact that a choir of singers were portrayed in the video, the actual studio singing was exclusively Boni on all tracks, excluding the male voices.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Boni+Boyer |title=Boni Boyer - Bio, CDs and Vinyl at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |access-date=August 11, 2010}}</ref> It has been mistakenly reported that "Kiss You Back" was co-written and co-performed by [[George Clinton (funk musician)|George Clinton]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.answers.com/topic/digital-underground |title=Digital Underground: Information from |publisher=Answers.com |access-date=August 11, 2010}}</ref> but his name appears in the writers credit due to a sample of "(Not Just) Knee Deep" by Funkadelic being used. He did, however, actively participate in the writing and recording of the title track "Sons of the P", which he also contributed vocals to, and which marked one of the earliest studio guest appearances by Clinton on a Hip Hop release,<ref>{{cite web|last=Huff |first=Quentin B. |url=http://www.popmatters.com/pm/column/we-dont-die-we-multiply-heartbeat-props |title=We Don't Die, We Multiply: Heartbeat Props < PopMatters |publisher=Popmatters.com |access-date=August 11, 2010}}</ref> which is preceded only by [[Kurtis Blow]]'s "Magilla Gorilla" released in 1986.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tunegenie.com/bio/MN0000116388/kurtis-blow/ |title=Artist Info: Kurtis Blow |publisher=Tunegenie.com |date=August 9, 1959 |access-date=August 11, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120630093646/http://www.tunegenie.com/bio/MN0000116388/kurtis-blow/ |archive-date=June 30, 2012 }}</ref> Both the album and the "Kiss You Back" single were each certified Gold by the RIAA.
