Beginnings
Their first song in 2007 was a remix of Tank's "Please Don't Go" released as "Please Don't Go (The TGT Remix)".[2] The trio also appeared on Slim Thug's single "Let Me Grind".
In an interview, Tyrese said the group would be the "ultimate R&B fan experience. Me, Tank and Ginuwine been talking about this forever. The reason why this makes sense is that besides all of us being R&B singers, we're all good friends. Every time I see Tank, every time I see Ginuwine, we all had good energy regardless."[3]
The trio planned the Shirts Off Tour for late 2007,[1] with Avant as an opening act. As part of the tour, they planned to hold auditions for a fourth member of the group.[2][4] The tour faced delays, however, and was anticipated for early 2008.[5]
The group faced difficulties given that each member of the trio is signed to a different record label,
Comeback
On September 22, 2012, Tyrese revealed on his Twitter page that the group has been officially signed to Atlantic Records.[7] Although together on and off for many years, TGT released their debut album Three Kings on August 20, 2013, under Atlantic Records.
