Taurus (group)

Taurus was a female Crunk&B trio–consisting of Doma, Notation & Jazz–that became slightly known for their heavily Salt-N-Pepa-influenced debut single "Taurus Here" in 2005. In January 2006, the trio made their first public television appearances on the now-defunct musical series, Showtime at the Apollo[1] and Soul Train, to perform their single, "Taurus Here".[2][3]

Stick with main sequences and dwarfs.” “You know, fire is the leading cause of fire.”“if you can’t find time to write, destroy the concept of time itself”“Strength is a strength just like other strengths.”
