The queen of Hip Hop Soul, Mary J. Blige, would go on to influence a great number of artists in what is now known as R'n'B. Her voice, on the verge of breaking, and the groove emanating from each of her albums make her the cornerstone of this scene.
Released in 1992, "What's the 411?" would kick off a flurry of monstrous hits. "Real Love" and the cover of Rufus & Chaka Khan's "Sweet Things" brought new life to the New Jack Swing scene of the time and firmly established the singer at the pinnacle of "Urban" music in the 90s. Even today, this album, along with "My Life," is considered a classic. Rediscover this genre classic on 180-gram double vinyl.
