Frick 'N' Frack was an American hip hop female duo from the Southside, Jamaica area of Queens, New York City, consisting of the sisters Nadine and Adriane Greene—MCs who rapped as "Frick" and "Frack" respectively. The duo's debut, "You Shouldn't Have Done It," produced by Juice Crew super producer Marley Marl.
Born and raised in Southside, the sisters started writing R&B songs when they were barely five-years-old. Their brother, who went by the MC name "YG," become a fixture on the nascent local scene as he performed at outdoor spots including Van Wyck Park and Lincoln Park.
In the first half of the 80's, Frick and Frack would hang out with Sandra Denton, who would soon become widely known as Pepa from fellow Queens-based rap group Salt-N-Pepa.
