On this week's episode, we look back at the New Jack Swing era of R&B. Obviously when we think about NJS, we think of Teddy Riley, Keith Sweat and GUY, but there are so many other names that we had to talk about in this episode. Names that you'll see on this episode are Christopher Williams, Al B. Sure, Karyn White, Jade and Men At Large. We look at the beginnings of the sound as well as the evolution of it from the likes of Michael Jackson, TLC and Boyz II Men. We also talk about some of the biggest hits from that era including "Poison". Lastly we talk about the death of that sound as R&B transitioned to Hip Hop Soul thanks to Mary J. Blige and Jodeci.
