When Next came on the scene back in 1997, they brought a certain edginess with them to the r&b game, especially with the debut of their single “Too Close.” Through most of their debut album, they sang about subject that was overly sexual and...
I’ve always had a great deal of respect and admiration for Missy Elliot; she’s never been afraid to try something new or been hesitant to come off looking straight up weird. In the process, many including myself would consider her a pioneer. Additionally,...
Of the non-singles from their debut album “Mars/Venus,” this was by far my favorite song from Koffee Brown. The song has a real laid back, feel good vibe to it that you can really get into when just cruisin around in the car. Just like other artists that...

This is my pick of the non-singles as my favorite song from Monica’s new album “Still Standing.” Heck, if you had told me this song was made in the mid-90s, I would believe you! It has that vintage sound, which Monica was going for on the album, and...
Did You Know: Coming out of Philly, Marc Nelson was an original member of Boyz II Men but left the group prior to the group’s first album to pursue his solo career? Although he missed out on the opportunity to be in one of the best groups of all time, he did...
