I'm sad to report that Orish Grinstead, founding member of the group 702, passed away on Sunday, April 20th. Orish died of kidney failure and had also been suffering from cancer which she had yet to begin receiving treatments for. My condolences go out to the Grinstead family as they make it through these rough times.

Orish had founded the group 702 with her twin sister Irish and her other sister LeMisha. The girls sang outside of boxing matches in their hometown of Las Vegas where they were spotted by Sinbad who helped them get their career started. While Orish left the group early on to start a solo career, the group continued on to release hits like "Steelo," "Where My Girls At?" and "Get It Together."
