While still residing in Southern California, Ross performed small shows with 2 Live Crew, which, at that time, consisted of rappers Fresh Kid Ice (Christopher Wong Won), Amazing Vee (Yuri Vielot), and their DJ Mr. Mixx (David Hobbs). Hobbs noticed Ross’ battle rap skills, and told Ross that if 2 Live Crew ever achieved success in the music business, Hobbs would call Ross to be a part of the group. In 1985, after finding underground success in Miami, 2 Live Crew relocated to the city at the behest of local concert promoter Luther Campbell, who would later join the group as producer, recording artist, and hype man.

In 1990, Ross and the 2 Live Crew released their fourth album Banned in the U.S.A., which was originally credited as Campbell’s solo album featuring 2 Live Crew and in later editions credited s a 2 Live Crew album. The album included the hits “Do the Bart” and the title track. It was also the very first release to bear the RIAA-standard Parental Advisory warning sticker. The eponymous title single was a reference to the obscenity decision from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Bruce Springsteen granted the group permission to interpolate his song “Born in the U.S.A.” for the single.
