B Brown Posse – A Forgotten Gem That Still Slaps (1993)
Alright, let’s get into it. B Brown Posse by B Brown Posse ain’t your typical R&B/Soul album from the '90s—it’s raw, unfiltered, and packed with enough swagger to make you wanna bounce outta your seat. Released in 1993 under MCA Records, this project blends Soul, New Jack Swing, Funk, and even some Hip Hop vibes like nobody’s business. And yeah, Bobby Brown himself was all over this thing as an executive producer and featured artist. You feel me?
The album hit shelves in the US, Thailand, Indonesia, Germany—you name it—and while it didn’t blow up like some of Bobby’s solo stuff, it’s got tracks that stick to your brain like gum on a hot sidewalk. Let me break down two joints that still slap hard today.
First up: "Let Me Touch You." Oh man, this one is straight fire. It’s smooth but gritty at the same time—like velvet dipped in gasoline. The beat slaps so hard you can’t help but move, and the vocals are dripping with that classic New Jack Swing flavor. This track feels like late-night rides through neon-lit streets or sneaking into a club way before you’re old enough. I remember hearing this for the first time and thinking, “Yo, they just made love sound dangerous.” Dangerous in the best way possible.
Then there’s "Your Love (feat. Bobby Brown)." Man, this song is pure heat. Bobby steps in like he owns the damn mic—which, honestly, he kinda does—and delivers lines that hit you right in the chest. The groove is infectious, and those harmonies? Chef’s kiss. What makes this track unforgettable is how effortlessly it switches between sultry and aggressive. One minute you’re vibing, the next you’re ready to fight someone for playing it too loud. That’s the magic of this album—it keeps you on edge.
Now, don’t get me wrong, not every track hits the same way. Some songs drag a bit, and others feel like filler. But when it works, it REALLY works. Tracks like "Drop It On The One" and "Rollin’ Wit The Roughness" bring that funky-ass energy that reminds you why people fell in love with this era of music.
Here’s the kicker though: listening to B Brown Posse now feels like finding an old mixtape in your mom’s attic. It’s nostalgic as hell, but it also makes you wonder why more people aren’t talking about it. Like, how did something this good slip through the cracks? Maybe it’s because Bobby Brown overshadowed his own crew. Or maybe folks were too busy losing their minds over Boyz II Men and Jodeci. Who knows?
But here’s the tea: if you’re a fan of '90s R&B/Soul with a side of grit, you need to cop this album ASAP. It’s a wild ride that deserves way more shine than it got back in the day. And hey, if nothing else, it proves that sometimes the best music comes from places you least expect.
So go ahead, press play, and let the Posse take you back to ‘93. Just don’t blame me if you start breaking out dance moves you forgot you had.
