Editor Pick: Babyface – Stressed Out (Produced by The Neptunes)

I really like this song for two reasons: very good production from the Neptunes in their prime, and the lyrics on this song are amazing. It might not be groundbreaking material, but I love to play this song when I’m stressed to put things in perspective. One...

Classic Vibe: Babyface "For the Cool in You" (1993)

Even though it may never have been reflected in record sales, I’ve always felt that Babyface was one of the most talented artists in r&b. Besides his silky smooth voice, he is also a masterful writer who has penned hits for a wide range of artists. In fact,...

Editor Pick: Tank – Make Me Wanna Sing (featuring Sparkle)

This was easily my favorite song from the “One Man” album. One thing I will say about Tank is, he has shown tremendous growth through each of his first three albums. In fact, if I had this site up a few years ago, I might have given “Sex, Love &...

Editor Pick: Donell Jones – Yearnin

Not only is Donell one of the most underrated artists in r&b, but his debut album “My Heart” from 1996 is one that is severely slept on. After all, it wasn’t until his second album “Where I Wanna Be” that he started getting the...

Editor Pick: T-Boz – Wanna Take Me Back

On a “soundtrack” that featured mostly hip hop and was primarily used to promote a tour featuring the likes of Jay-Z, Method Man, Redman & Ja Rule, this r&b gem was mysteriously tossed in the middle. Even though she primarily sang lead for TLC,...

Editor Pick: Jagged Edge – Can I Get With You

Honestly, I could have hand picked almost any song off of the “J.E. Hearbreak” album and featured it, but of the non-singles “Can I Get With You” stands out above the rest to me. This uptempo feel good song from Jagged Edge is a welcome...
Classic Vibe: Ghost Town DJ’s "My Boo" (1996)

Classic Vibe: Ghost Town DJ’s "My Boo" (1996)

Talk about a serious one hit wonder!! The Ghost Town DJ’s “My Boo” was their contribution to Jermaine Dupri’s So So Def Bass All Stars Compilation from back in 1996. In trying to look up more information about the group, I’ve found they...

New Music: Mario – Rules (featuring Marsha Ambrosius)

We’re feeling this nice little duet he did here with Marsha from Floetry. Currently, Marsha is signed to Dr. Dre’s Aftermath label and is working on her solo debut. Mario released “D.N.A.” in October and has plans to release “Ohh...
