H.R. and Earl Hudson quit the band in 1987 to focus on reggae music. Touring for I Against I was completed with singer Taj Singleton and former Cro-Mags drummer Mackie Jayson. In 1988, Bad Brains signed with Caroline Records and began recording the album Quickness . The album was recorded with Singleton and Jayson, but the Hudson brothers returned to the band in 1989 and H.R. replaced Singleton’s work with new lyrics and vocals. Released in September of that year, Quickness saw Bad Brains expand their sound from that of I Against I , and has also been recognized as one of the early groove metal albums.
