Phyllis "Lil’P" Charles & Suhayla "Sweet L.D." Sabir
Oaktown’s 357; Sweet L.D., Lil’ P, and Terrible T, were the background dancers for M.C. Hammer. Soon after performing locally and across the country they were given the opportunity to show off another one of their talents, Rapping. Hammer was looking to produce a Female Rap group that could also dance. He was struck with the idea to produce his background dancers once he heard Lil’ P playfully rapping a Salt n’ Pepa tune, Tramp during a rehearsal. Oaktown’s 357 recorded and released two albums, "Wild and Loose" and "Fully Loaded". Although Lil’ P left before the filming of the video to their single Yeah Yeah Yeah from the Wild and Loose album, Terrible T and Sweet L.D. continued to carry the torch and making the group successful and well received with audiences as far as Japan.
Terrible T and Sweet L.D. were released from their record and management contract with Bust It Records/Management in 1990.  After twenty years the group has reunited with the members Lil’ P and Sweet L.D. picking up where Terrible T and Sweet L.D. left off.  Much to the delight of the ladies, their fan base is still established, interested and very supportive of the ladies performing and touring again. Sweet L.D. and Lil’ P have recently released their single "Get Up On It", available on iTunes and Amazon Mp3. "Get Up On It" is also in frequent rotation on internet radio www.jango.com.
