Wreckx-n-Effect is an American new jack swing group from Harlem, New York City who are known for their multi-platinum hit “Rump Shaker” in 1992, which was produced by Teddy Riley.

Wrecks-n-Effect is the debut album released by Wrecks-n-Effect. It was released on September 12, 1989 for Motown Records and featured production from Markell Riley and Redhead Kingpin.The album cover bears a winged-lion symbol like Guy, as it bears the genre’s anthem.

The album achieved modest success on the Billboard charts, making it to #103 on the Billboard 200 and #16 on the Top R&B Albums chart. The two singles released found greater success; “New Jack Swing”, which features New jack swing pioneer Teddy Riley, reached No. 1 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart, while “Juicy” made it to No. 6 on the same chart.

This was the only album by the group to include member Brandon Mitchell, as he would be shot down less than a year later on August 8, 1990.
