I'm either old and/or out of touch because most of these I don't even know.

I will cosign Raheem, Jimmy Cozier and Cassie.

Most of the ones that come to mind to me aren't due to their talent but moreso the machine that backed them, Cassie being the main culprit there.

Nicole Wray is another.

Joss Stone.

Tevin Campbell definitely should have been bigger but too many people call him just a one hit wonder. Blasphemy.



Nicole fell all da wayyy off




Razah was getting spins on Hot97 and Power105

Co sign on Nicole Wray! :wow:

I was just humming this joint the day before yesterday and thinking how ahead of their time they were for this classic

Beat still sound as amazing as it did when it came out and the way they laid their vocals, them vocal arrangements:banderas:

Joi when she dropped this. Wasn’t expecting her to be like Toni Braxton or Mariah big, but I thought she’d become a staple among black female listeners like Jill Scott, erykah, and (for that era) Angie stone and India arie




I also thought goapele would blow up and get to that a list neo soul star level


Co sign
Joi reminds me of Fishbone in a way, cause her style is so abstract and she always switches it up.
I love her tho.
Very gifted and talented woman:smh:
A true Black queen :ohlawd:

20 years old and still feels fresh. A classic.
