Urban boy band B2K broke into the pop market in early 2002 with "Uh Huh," a fun song driven by more-dance-than-hip-hop beats and a hot delivery, downright sexy for four young innocent-looking men. The single's success drew attention toward the group's self-titled debut album and group members Omarion, Raz-B, Lil Fizz, and J-Boog. Epic Records, the label that developed B2K, marketed Jhene in conjunction with the boy band. The young woman is Lil Fizz's cousin and toured with B2K in 2002. The end of the year saw a new release, Pandemonium, and another tour, but bigger things were in the works for the quartet. In 2003 they began working on a soundtrack for a film that would feature the band in starring roles. Released in December, the You Got Served soundtrack was to be the first in a chain of events that seemed certain to make 2004 an even bigger year for B2K, but only weeks after it's release, a few dates into a new tour and weeks before the release of the film You Got Served, B2K broke up. The group claimed internal disagreements for the split. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide |
