Jodeci: Diary Of A Mad Band [HIP-O RECORDS (UME)]

Why you'll love it

Jodeci's second album, and the sound of 90s R&B at its most swaggering. "Cry For You" and "Feenin'" are untouchable slow jams, and the credits are a who's who in waiting: Missy Elliott and Timbaland, both early in their careers, plus Redman.

About the album

Released on Uptown in December 1993 and certified double platinum, it pushed new jack swing somewhere darker and sexier. DeVante Swing's production still sounds huge.

Lights low. You know the rest.

Also at Kops: more Hip Hop & R&B
