Today if you are not wearing a dress,pushing the gay agenda,doing satanic crap,or being half naked on stage then you will not be signed to a major label.
Can be it is you got to have high powered lawyers on your side and don’t jump at the first bone thrown at you it’s a dirty I will use you until it’s nothing left Business.
Almost every single 80s - 00s boy bands/ groups were did dirty and its sad! From New Edition…. Soul For Real… Hi Five…. Silk…. 112….. B5 😩 I could keep going!
Notice how New Kids On The Block, Backstreet Boys and NSYNC never went through any of that drama. Sad truth is WE DO IT TO OURSELVES!!! The older I get the more I realize all the urban music execs and big names were nothing but Boule agents taking advantage of their own people.
Hearing how they were treated by Heavy D, his brother, Andre H, etc. makes you view them in a different light. I guess I have this view of Heav being this laid back cat who made fun songs. It just shows how cutthroat the industry is. Even the dopest people will take advantage. Soul 4 Real have solidified themselves as an integral part of the 90s✨️💫
Yo for real! Smh. Goes to show that it's "business". But that's a lesson learned, when somebody up like that you can't put them on a high horse. They may have stepped on someone career... glad you don't have to do that today. However, I think many still do. This crabs in a barrel thing gotta stop.
This is beyond sad to hear...ALL OF IT. I don't like how we do each other. These brothers were an awesome group that brought clean music that the elders loved to hear. To this day I play CANDY RAIN & EVERY LITTLE THING YOU DO during my cookouts. Yes indeed...out in the backyard...SOUL TRAIN LINE. 😍💯 Seriously though they were treated dirty with no reason. What happened to Heav & Andre was tragic but no one knows how God works...that's all I'm saying on that.
Yeah I know it …it’s disgusting how we do each other knowing what they went through before that so you should do up and coming groups better to stop the cycle…like how Pebbles did TLC smh same type of shht As for the tragedy …not saying it was karma but I wouldn’t give a shht about them seeing that they fugged them over so bad …it is what it is and fuk the funerals to, what respects do they deserve from them young men? Not a damn thing …again I think it’s disgusting what we do to each other …that’s how folk end up homeless etc . They were taken advantage of and everyone in the uptown crew knew what they were doing.
You can’t come into the business trying to call shots. Choc should’ve let Heav guide them. They had the opportunity and blew it. They can only blame themselves. 🤷🏽♀️
I get so mad when I hear how our black elders treat and take advantage of the youth for greed, power and money 💰. Too many stories like this....Disgusting
You just had to be there(90’s) to understand the feel, the talents etc. I swear there were over 100 girl and boy groups. Music like this can’t be replaced or duplicated!!!! But I’m hoping that five stair steps video is coming
It's is ridiculous & should be illegal for how these record labels along with the management companies lie,cheat,steal & defraud the very artist who's bringing in the money especially when it's a black record label/black management company. It's down right pathetic.
Ur right it was jealousy. These boys was gold and jealous runs soooo deep. They had a hit that’s timeless and a permanent part of millions of peoples lives forever. They were gon to be the next HUGE thing
@@ertfgghhhh they had one of the greatest albums of that era . It was some type of jealousy or something there. You put on that song and EVERYONE jumps up
I always wondered what happened to them. It’s like they just fell off the planet. Can’t believe Heavy did that 😭 My oldest daughter used to sing “Every little thing I do, you’re oh my my” instead of “On my mind” and instead of “Hey” she’d say “shake”..She was like 3 😆
Yes but at that time, there wasn't much information about the indurstry. It was more hidden and on the low but it was like everyone knew and kept their mouths shut.
Even if they never put out anymore music it still saddens me that they never received royalties from “candy rain”, that has to be one of the most played r&b records of all time.
I've always heard nothing but positive things about Heavy D up until this video. So he had a difference of opinion with a group member, but to never want to speak to them again? That's a bit extreme and shady on Heavy's part. I guess there are two sides to anyone. I hate how the industry allowed Soul For Real to crash and burn so fast. They just don't care at ALL! Be letting all of this talent fall off like this! I feel so bad for the artists. You think you'll be doing this for a living for the rest of your life, only to release one big commercial album and be dropped, then have to go back to normal life like nothing ever happened. Going back to the struggle and working a regular 9-5 would be somewhat traumatic initially I'd imagine.
Trust Heavy D was not a nice dude and was on some sucker 💩 like a lot of greedy bastards in the entertainment industry 🙄. Karma is certified real and that's why things came to heavy and others since then.
It's crazy that they have over a million monthly listeners on Spotify, but still struggling. These streaming services are really taking advantage of artists smh.
Ryte they should get some money no way they should be broke as common folk but rule of thumb never be difficult and yes be stern wen doing business but never get the one who cut your checks lawyers never ever they was better off get a fake pretender public defender attorney
So many amazingly talented artist get a shitty deal handed to them by the entertainment industry. I didn’t know they had all of this going on. Wow! RIP Heavy D & Andre H
🤔 Doesn’t seem like the deal was the real issue on this one. It was Choc coming fresh into the game trying to call shots. Then when Heav decided he didn’t wanna put up with the attitude, they tried to call foul. I think it’s disgusting for him to blame Heav’s death on karma. Heav gave them a golden opportunity, and they blew it because they couldn’t take his guidance. 🙄
@@jamiltyson1571 🤔 When Heav picked them up and put them on, he’d been in the game close to 10 years by then. Do I have to spell it out? Anytime someone has years of experience on you, they have more wisdom within whatever industry. Why not just take Heav’s advice and let Jase lead, especially since he sung lead on the original single? That’s makes more since musically and for marketing. To me, it seems Choc wanted to make sure he got some shine instead of just taking Heav’s instruction (guidance) and ended up blowing the support Heav once had for them. They only had one single out, and he had the nerve to wanna argue with the boss: FOOLISH! 🙄
Look at the bright side, the sharks that stole their money from bad publishing deals/contract are no longer alive. These brothers have more wealth in their health and still can be successful in life.
Record companies wouldn't exist without talent. It makes sense to keep artists happy and well paid since they're the ones generating income that the record companies steal.
Candy rain was my absolute favorite song. It means so much to me. It got me through some rough times during my teen pregnancy. I used to sing it to my baby in my belly 🥰 my son is now 27 💙
How many artists have to be taken advantage of by label lawyers for artists to realize that they should hire their own lawyers and invest their own money and hiring a lawyer? It’s an obvious conflict of interest🤷🏽♀️
I’m not shocked at all RRG especially seeing the names of the people who dealt them that dirty hand. They remain a great group to me and I’ll always cherish their music. Thank you for this video 👏🏾👏🏾❤️
Damn...Heavy D is one of my favorite artist back in the day. Had no clue this is how he did Soul for real like that. Sad! But like u mentioned, Soul for real music will live on with us. As well as the late great Heavy D.
I loved that group growing up and wished we could have heard more music from them. The music business is a shark tank and sucks the life out of everyone. When you lack knowledge people take advantage.
Soul For Real, they are all right w/ me. I actually had a brief exchange w/ Jase several months ago. I told him how I felt about his new song and a few other things. He was hella cool and very receptive. I told him that I believed 112 replaced them which is why they fell flat. He said that I could be on to something. There's a reason why we know and love _Candy Rain_ and barely know sh¡t else by them. It's a corporate decision. They decide on what's gon be a hit and how long the artist/band is gon last in that mainstream music marketplace. Once they use you up and hang you out to dry, it's curtains on that ass. With hundreds to thousands of artists/bands on a label, execs can sorta look & book ahead. "Eh, we're tired of Soul For Real. Let's go for 112 and see what happens." Anyway, my favorite song from them is a tie between _If You Want It_ and _Spend the Night._ I left a comment under one of they live performances and a follower of mine corrected me. He knew what type of R&B I liked and told me to listen to _Spend the Night._ I listened to it and it became my favorite, instantly. I love the hits, but I've always been an albums cut kinda girl. _Candy Rain_ is sheer nostalgia for all '90s kids so I don't need to get into that one. I'll be here all doggon night/morning reminiscing. Nah, they second LP, chile... I never fooled w/ it during the time, however, I did enjoy the song I heard on _Moesha_ entitled _Never Felt This Way._ I love that cut. I remember seeing the LP in stores and it just felt like goodbye. It felt like a blank piece of paper. It obviously had no programming behind it. I recently listened to it and...well... It's cool, (I guess). I like the first cut entitled _Stay._ After that LP, I have no idea, chile. They're tryna do new music and it's like, "Oh Lawd. Here we go." Soul For Real is my generation. My generation isn't interested in new music from '90s artists/bands anymore. Mint Condition was at some Awards show performing new music and nobody in the audience moved. Soon as they hit that _Breakin' My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)_ gem, the audience responded. There's a reason to that. So many '90s artists/bands make new music and it ALWAYS falls flat and flops. See, back in the '90s, labels programmed the music so that it would stick and sink in our minds & hearts. Did you know that folks think Jon B last song is 1997's _They Don't Know?_ There's a reason to that. Nowadays, my generation focuses on podcasts and reality tv. New music is the last thing on our minds because our musical memory banks are full. We're perfectly satisfied w/ our lil' '90s jams. It's not right or wrong. That's just the way things go. Who's still waiting around for Usher Raymond to put out new music? Who's waiting for Usher Raymond to go out on tour and perform the classics? Think about it...
Candy Rain, Every Little Thing and If You Want It are still bops! I was very shocked and disappointed by how Heavy D did business with them. Then his own shiesty azz brother was dipping into his estate funds! so there's that
Thank you so much for sharing so many artists I've never heard of. I don't ask my mom but she loves music and so do I. I always wonder what happened to so and so but y'all are so appreciated for bringing this type of content to our community. We need it and more. This is great CRT! They say we need it in schools I say we need it in society. We don't know so much and it's so much to know in all realms. I enjoyed the content per my usual and thanks again for your time and patience in creating this content
Wow I can't believe they was treated badly like that, I hope this time around they protect their kid's and make sure they get a legit label deal and get paid.
I remember Candy Rain coming out back when I was a 10th grader. I even bought a cassette single of it. I also had a chance to see them perform in 2018 in Long Beach, CA. With other great R&B artist like Keith Sweat, Jodeci ,Jon B ,Jagged Edge, Color Me Badd etc.
Soul 4 Real is one of the most underrated male R&B groups of the '90s. They are handsome, immensely talented and deserve more recognition. Candy Rain will always be a classic. The '90s was such a special time for R&B music.
Trust me heavy and Andre reaped what they showed. 💩Ing on people is not cool and they burned a lot of people. It's very disheartening how we as people do each other. RIP? I doubt it.
Wow thank you so much for covering their story. I love candy rain so much I still listen to that song on repeat. It was diffidently my favorite party turn up song and every little thing was a great song too. I’m so sad what happened to them I wish Heavy D gave them a second chance. I’m glad they are getting their lives together and doing well I wish them the best.❤️
I believe everyone should have a backup plan for their career. Also, knowing that the entertainment industry is fickle… I would recommend that if a person/group enjoys entertaining, do it for the love of entertaining, and not for the accolades. That means, so what if you don’t make the charts… I am sure there are many venues to showcase your talent.
i dnt believe that their entire career failed cause of a disagreement with heavy d regarding who is singing lead. esp for a platnium group whose plat album u basically wrote the entirety of? idk man...seems like there is way more to the story
when the whole industry is done with u and word from somebody big not too fuck with you it over!!! its a decision made bruh!! " Your are done ! That's it!! Like you never existed before!"
I believe it. I remember LeToya Luckett said during the 90's you could be dropped even if you went platinum or gold if the record label "couldn't understand the vision."
Look if he feels heavy d was a dirty person, he can feel that karma came back to bite him. The f*** is wrong with people y'all just way too sensitive nowadays he didn't say he died specifically because of what he did to us, he just said karma comes back to bite you when you do dirt to people or when you're a dirty person and people are allowed to feel whatever way they want to feel about their experience. Hell, they didn't kill him! Now y'all trying to tell people how to feel.
Heavy D always struck me as a shady and snake dude him n diddy. He destroyed these guys careers in the worse way. Karma don’t skip anyone. Let this dude speak his peace. He deserves this. These guys made a massive accomplishment to the music world and got nothing for it. Why people acting like people can’t speak they truth. This was his life
@@renattapage6147 your right they did everyone dirty. I don’t remember all the groups and girl singers from the 90s cus I was born in 1991 but I remember some groups and girls and they did all the 90s and 00s groups dirty
Wow! that's really bad what those guys went through! The industry can be very cruel at times. Thanks for another great video RRG the 90's was truly a remarkable decade in Hip Hop music🙏🌟👍❤
Some groups like Soul For Real have a run in the music game. They only have a 2 year run (1994-1996) and music was shifting around that time . It was so many groups in the 90s . The lead singer voice has changed and they couldn't crack another hit like their previous joints from their debut album. Their audience (fans) moved on. They wasn't blackballed its the times and people gravitate to the next new hotness. Look at B2K for example they had a 2 year run and split up because of management and Omarion was going solo.
So talented still super talented thank goodness the internet can help these artist get their music out without having to deal with the industry unless they choose to 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'll be 39 next month and I still listen to soul4real along with other music from the 90's. Also not afraid to admit that I learned the dance from my candy rain🖤. Soul4Real 4ever in my top 5 R&B groups
WOW 😮!! I’m very shocked! I’m a big fan!! Their music takes me back to my 1st year of college!! That first CD was an EXCELLENT CD!!! I would love 💕 to see them in concert!!

Yes
Their album For Life, is still one of my favorites. “Never felt this way” is top 20 songs of all time for me!
Soul For Real and Kut Klose are the two 90s groups I wish we’d gotten more albums from
They were good but" Next Jackson 5" is reaching.
Every boy band potentially next jackson 5 😂
Heavy made them great and broke at the same time. Familiar pattern.
And every lead male vocalist was the next "Michael Jackson" that's how you know Mike set the bar too high😂
I am not shocked at all. Seems like an on going theme for artist back then. I wish everyone could get back what they are owed the right way.

How many artists have to be taken advantage of by label lawyers for artists to realize that they should hire their own lawyers and invest their own money and hiring a lawyer? It’s an obvious conflict of interest🤷🏽♀️
Love love love... wish I could go back and stay in the 90's!!
Me also
I’m not shocked at all RRG especially seeing the names of the people who dealt them that dirty hand. They remain a great group to me and I’ll always cherish their music. Thank you for this video 👏🏾👏🏾❤️
Wow! Sad! I wondered what happened to Soul for Real. A good group! "Every little thing I do" is one of my favorites by them. Good video 💯
Damn...Heavy D is one of my favorite artist back in the day. Had no clue this is how he did Soul for real like that. Sad! But like u mentioned, Soul for real music will live on with us. As well as the late great Heavy D.
Not shocked at all. People will be people; always looking out for themselves. Glad to see that they are all alive and healthy.
I was born in 87 And I’m happy I had A Chance to Experience the 90s And Candy Rain Was My Jam.
I loved that group growing up and wished we could have heard more music from them. The music business is a shark tank and sucks the life out of everyone. When you lack knowledge people take advantage.
👍THIS!!!🎯💯💯👍👍!!
You're so right
If Floyd did that to his own brother, imagine what he'd do to 4 young strangers to him? 😫
What did Floyd do to Heav? Did I miss something?
@@CodyCole80 stole his money from his daughter from what I am hearing
Heavy ain't no better. He did these kids wrong!!!!
Stories that makes you go HMMMM .... Shouldn't have been this way ... Blessings to the Brothers living their best lifes possible...
Middle school dances here I come!!! Everyone 3feet apart ! 😂 thank you RRG as always!
LMAO!
All I'm saying is the 90's music was 🔥🔥.
YUP!!
Soul For Real, they are all right w/ me. I actually had a brief exchange w/ Jase several months ago. I told him how I felt about his new song and a few other things. He was hella cool and very receptive. I told him that I believed 112 replaced them which is why they fell flat. He said that I could be on to something. There's a reason why we know and love _Candy Rain_ and barely know sh¡t else by them. It's a corporate decision. They decide on what's gon be a hit and how long the artist/band is gon last in that mainstream music marketplace. Once they use you up and hang you out to dry, it's curtains on that ass. With hundreds to thousands of artists/bands on a label, execs can sorta look & book ahead. "Eh, we're tired of Soul For Real. Let's go for 112 and see what happens." Anyway, my favorite song from them is a tie between _If You Want It_ and _Spend the Night._ I left a comment under one of they live performances and a follower of mine corrected me. He knew what type of R&B I liked and told me to listen to _Spend the Night._ I listened to it and it became my favorite, instantly. I love the hits, but I've always been an albums cut kinda girl. _Candy Rain_ is sheer nostalgia for all '90s kids so I don't need to get into that one. I'll be here all doggon night/morning reminiscing. Nah, they second LP, chile... I never fooled w/ it during the time, however, I did enjoy the song I heard on _Moesha_ entitled _Never Felt This Way._ I love that cut. I remember seeing the LP in stores and it just felt like goodbye. It felt like a blank piece of paper. It obviously had no programming behind it. I recently listened to it and...well... It's cool, (I guess). I like the first cut entitled _Stay._ After that LP, I have no idea, chile. They're tryna do new music and it's like, "Oh Lawd. Here we go." Soul For Real is my generation. My generation isn't interested in new music from '90s artists/bands anymore. Mint Condition was at some Awards show performing new music and nobody in the audience moved. Soon as they hit that _Breakin' My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)_ gem, the audience responded. There's a reason to that. So many '90s artists/bands make new music and it ALWAYS falls flat and flops. See, back in the '90s, labels programmed the music so that it would stick and sink in our minds & hearts. Did you know that folks think Jon B last song is 1997's _They Don't Know?_ There's a reason to that. Nowadays, my generation focuses on podcasts and reality tv. New music is the last thing on our minds because our musical memory banks are full. We're perfectly satisfied w/ our lil' '90s jams. It's not right or wrong. That's just the way things go. Who's still waiting around for Usher Raymond to put out new music? Who's waiting for Usher Raymond to go out on tour and perform the classics? Think about it...
Candy Rain, Every Little Thing and If You Want It are still bops! I was very shocked and disappointed by how Heavy D did business with them. Then his own shiesty azz brother was dipping into his estate funds! so there's that
I still listen candy rain and every little thing I do are my favs❤️
As a 90s babies they were played so much as a kid and even my kids love their songs. Poor kids.
Thank you so much for sharing so many artists I've never heard of. I don't ask my mom but she loves music and so do I. I always wonder what happened to so and so but y'all are so appreciated for bringing this type of content to our community. We need it and more. This is great CRT! They say we need it in schools I say we need it in society. We don't know so much and it's so much to know in all realms. I enjoyed the content per my usual and thanks again for your time and patience in creating this content
I remember having their cd as a teenager and the whole cd was banging. You could listen straight through.....good times.
I’m happy to hear they went another route besides music.
Candy Rain will always be my song.
Candy Rain is a classic!! Love ❤️ that song forever.
Oh this was much needed, saw a vid of them harmonizing not too long ago ❤️
Hope you enjoy it!
Such a good video but it makes me mad that they were done so dirty.
The 90"s was an experience. Soul For Real was awesome. I was wondering why we stopped hearing them on the radio.
Their episode of Unsung is worth the watch. My favorite song is their cover of "If Only You Knew." 🔥🎶🎵
Well Heavy D is now A SOUL, FOR REAL.
😔
i hate that i laughed at this 😭
@@leinaleilani smh 😂
dammm!!
Welll 😆
Every Little Thing I do is my absolute jam. I love that song, it was also featured in an episode of New York Undercover.
Wow I can't believe they was treated badly like that, I hope this time around they protect their kid's and make sure they get a legit label deal and get paid.
He can say he felt heavy d passing was his karma so what he robbed them not breakfast club ‼️
I miss 90s music
I'm so stuck in the 90s!! 😭❤❤
Who not? The 90s have Masterpieces. The music roghtnow ist awful
I always wondered what happened to these guys and I know they could have had more success if they just got a chance!
I remember Candy Rain coming out back when I was a 10th grader. I even bought a cassette single of it. I also had a chance to see them perform in 2018 in Long Beach, CA. With other great R&B artist like Keith Sweat, Jodeci ,Jon B ,Jagged Edge, Color Me Badd etc.
Can never get tired of they’re music
Soul 4 Real is one of the most underrated male R&B groups of the '90s. They are handsome, immensely talented and deserve more recognition. Candy Rain will always be a classic. The '90s was such a special time for R&B music.
I'm not gonna lie, it does seem like Karma for all the dirty business dealings. But still RIP to both those men.
Trust me heavy and Andre reaped what they showed. 💩Ing on people is not cool and they burned a lot of people. It's very disheartening how we as people do each other. RIP? I doubt it.
That's why we can't hold people in a higher view....damn not Heavy D after all the righteous messages......🤔🤔🤔🤔
Here to support RRG❤️
They definitely will be remembered for that pat with their feet on the floor in the video "Candy Rain"🤗😂🤣I love them, thanks for the 90's Music ❤️❤️
Hey besties ❤️. Candy Rain is a jam to this day.
Hey bestie! We agree! ❤️
You right what a time to be alive and we don't even have to ask for a request y'all they give it all to us
Wow thank you so much for covering their story. I love candy rain so much I still listen to that song on repeat. It was diffidently my favorite party turn up song and every little thing was a great song too. I’m so sad what happened to them I wish Heavy D gave them a second chance. I’m glad they are getting their lives together and doing well I wish them the best.❤️
I believe everyone should have a backup plan for their career. Also, knowing that the entertainment industry is fickle… I would recommend that if a person/group enjoys entertaining, do it for the love of entertaining, and not for the accolades. That means, so what if you don’t make the charts… I am sure there are many venues to showcase your talent.
I applaud this channel for their entrepreneurial endeavor with their line of snacks , I think that is to be commended
One thing “rrg “ will always keep us younger folks about the good old days .
"Every Little Thing I Do" my fav song of theirs❤️
i dnt believe that their entire career failed cause of a disagreement with heavy d regarding who is singing lead. esp for a platnium group whose plat album u basically wrote the entirety of? idk man...seems like there is way more to the story
Most likely..
It can be that simple with this industry 😩
when the whole industry is done with u and word from somebody big not too fuck with you it over!!! its a decision made bruh!! " Your are done ! That's it!! Like you never existed before!"
I believe it. I remember LeToya Luckett said during the 90's you could be dropped even if you went platinum or gold if the record label "couldn't understand the vision."
I have/had both albums as a kid in the 90's. Their song "If You Want It" was my shit back in the day. Still love it now.
Look if he feels heavy d was a dirty person, he can feel that karma came back to bite him. The f*** is wrong with people y'all just way too sensitive nowadays he didn't say he died specifically because of what he did to us, he just said karma comes back to bite you when you do dirt to people or when you're a dirty person and people are allowed to feel whatever way they want to feel about their experience. Hell, they didn't kill him! Now y'all trying to tell people how to feel.
Heavy D always struck me as a shady and snake dude him n diddy. He destroyed these guys careers in the worse way. Karma don’t skip anyone. Let this dude speak his peace. He deserves this. These guys made a massive accomplishment to the music world and got nothing for it. Why people acting like people can’t speak they truth. This was his life
@Nevin Reid Monifah
@@renattapage6147 your right they did everyone dirty. I don’t remember all the groups and girl singers from the 90s cus I was born in 1991 but I remember some groups and girls and they did all the 90s and 00s groups dirty
@@mayy9685 Yes they did the 90s era was truly the best and I’m just glad that I was raised in that time
@@renattapage6147 me to!
Wow! that's really bad what those guys went through! The industry can be very cruel at times. Thanks for another great video RRG the 90's was truly a remarkable decade in Hip Hop music🙏🌟👍❤
I see Heavy D in a different light
So talented I can definitely listen to the first album without skipping !!!
I use to love them! Yes I wondered about them.
Hope you enjoy it!
So sorry That Heavy ended their Career. I always thought of Him being a good caring man. R.I.P. Heavy
Some groups like Soul For Real have a run in the music game. They only have a 2 year run (1994-1996) and music was shifting around that time . It was so many groups in the 90s . The lead singer voice has changed and they couldn't crack another hit like their previous joints from their debut album. Their audience (fans) moved on. They wasn't blackballed its the times and people gravitate to the next new hotness. Look at B2K for example they had a 2 year run and split up because of management and Omarion was going solo.
You are absolutely correct!!!!
So talented still super talented thank goodness the internet can help these artist get their music out without having to deal with the industry unless they choose to 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bad health can be karma.
Why would you say that about heavy d?
@@FunFactswithAmanihe screwed 4 young kids out of their masters and publishing and then blackballed them.
I have their first 2 albums and I love EVERY song on both......
❤❤❤
I loved these cats! They had that hard core look, with that choir boy sound.
Yup!
I'll be 39 next month and I still listen to soul4real along with other music from the 90's. Also not afraid to admit that I learned the dance from my candy rain🖤.
Soul4Real 4ever in my top 5 R&B groups
I hope you do silk or 112 next?
I'm shocked, appalled and saddened because they were a great talent.
I saw one of them in Long Island when I was like 18-19. So like 2003. He was a WHOLE crackhead. It was really sad. I hope they are all doing okay now.
I do remember hearing "drug" problems w/one.😔😔😔
WOW 😮!! I’m very shocked! I’m a big fan!! Their music takes me back to my 1st year of college!! That first CD was an EXCELLENT CD!!! I would love 💕 to see them in concert!!
When RUclips streets get dry🥱 here come Sis with the banger 💥💯💅🏽💪🏽
😘😘
I listen to there cd every single day I’m driving. There remake of “if only you knew” is beautiful
