They then released the single “Butterfly” which would find huge success, reaching the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100, and their debut album – “The Gift of Game” – would sell 1.5 million copies, increasing Shifty’s net worth significantly. In 2002, they released their second album “Darkhorse”, which was a commercial failure and prompted the group to disband.
