K Smooth, born Kevin Smooth in 1972 in Atlanta, Georgia, is an American R&B singer and songwriter, best known for his soulful voice and his success as a solo artist following the disbandment of the popular 90s R&B group, Open Gates. He developed his vocal skills singing in the church choir and participating in local talent shows. His early exposure to diverse musical styles shaped his eclectic approach to music. In the late 1980s, Kevin, along with childhood friends Thomas "T-Top" Jackson, Big Ron, and Lil' Ray, formed Open Gates. The group quickly gained traction in Atlanta's vibrant music scene with their compelling blend of R&B and soul. Following the tragic death of T-Top and the subsequent breakup of Open Gates in 1998, K Smooth launched his solo career. His first single, "P.I.M.P," was a major hit, showcasing his smooth vocal style and flair for blending R&B with contemporary sounds. The success of "P.I.M.P" led to the release of his debut solo album, "Solo Gates," which went on to achieve platinum status. The album was both a tribute to his roots in Open Gates and a showcase of his evolution as an artist.
Too late my brother, he went back to the pin, he was caught stealing a cd player out of a 01 cadillac, he would of gotten away if it werent for his fubu jeans getting in the way 😢@glencarter2687
I remember Babyface turned down the song but it’s a good thing K Smooth used the song and it was on one of the Spike Lee movies. My dad used to play this song in his car on cassette. It had the speakers booming. Good times!
I remember whenever I was little singing to this song during those Body&Soul commercial that came on at 2am whenever I stayed the weekend with my grandparents.
Man I was 19 when this came out I had a lil shorty that was taking all my shoe and t-shirt money heard this life totally changed now I got a stable of mares 🐎 fine and thick 😂
You need to put more lyrics into the AI cuz yeah they do give variations on the lyrics but in terms of melodics but the words are still the same a repeating hook
