I know they were kinda' disowned within the #HipHop lexicon for various reasons (thanks, KRS-One!), but it cannot be denied these chaps were fairly popular when #ConsciousRap was catching on. Even holds up, if you don't mind that #NewJackSwing era with a little more #RnB in it (thanks, Todd Terry!).

Quarter ft. Karen T
by Founder & CEO

It is difficult to find this person online as Founder & CEO. That phrase has terrible SEO qualities ("Are you looking for the CEO of Spotify?"). Anyway, this is Terry Mann: https://linktr.ee/founderceomusic

And their music is great and you should hear it!

Jangling and polished synth pop with some funky influences, some new jack swing in there, too.

That's right! Let's bring back new jack swing!!
