They’re baaaack!!!! Bell, Biv, DeVoe…now you know! That’s right ILOSM family, Ricky Bell, Mike Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe are back with a new single and a album…they’re first one in 15 years to be exact. **SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO**
To say I’m buggin’ out right now, like a teen groupie on the front row at a 1988 New Edition concert, is an understatement, LOL. It’s not simply because I’m a fan of BBD’s music, but it’s because I’m a fan of REAL music and I’m glad their bringing some of that to today’s market for a change. Just like many of my fellow Old Schoolers, I’ve been waiting for some real artists from back in the day to drop a new single or two, so these youngins out here can see how it’s really done.
BBD’s new album, titled “Three Stripes ≡,” will release in January 2017 and their new single, “Run,” was produced by a producer who never disappoints, Eric Sermon (formerly of the rap duo, EPMD). Their collaboration is bringing back BBD’s classic style of ‘hip hop, smoothed out with an R&B tip, with a pop feel, appeal to it.’
The thing I most expect about BBD’s new joint is that they did NOT try to be something they’re not- they didn’t try to appeal to a 13-30 demographic; they didn’t get one of today’s faddy rappers to drop some garbage, auto-tune laced verses on their record; and they stuck with a hot producer like Eric Sermon, from back in the day versus an “in” producer of today, who would have just given them a faddy, wack track to flow to. Do your thing BBD! We’re rockin’ with y’all all day, everyday!
Check out Bell, Biv, DeVoe’s new joint and tell us what y’all think…
