After taking the South Side club scene by storm with their version of hip hop/street funk, the Chicago group recently pocketed $100,000 as ''Artist of the Year'' on Natalie Cole`s ''Big Break,'' a weekly talent contest (shown at 11 p.m. Saturdays on WFLD-Ch. 32). With a high-energy and highly choreographed delivery of their song ''Giving All My Love,'' they beat out nine other finalists to win the grand prize.
