Urban Enthusiasm presents:

Cause & Effect, B2K

Today’s show is dedicated to my fiance, Toni, on her bridal shower day. One of her favorite band growing up was B2K. This short lived R&B group made a major impact during there 2 year run from 2002 ~ 2003. I will also discuss the downfall of R&B groups like B2K.

Today we will look at the development of boy bands in urban music and examine their lack of impact in the music industry today.  What happened to all the great R&B boy bands?
