The Source (3/98, p.198) - "...As far as sonic foreplay goes, Playa's got all the right moves....There is a subtlety in their sound that is much sexier than a lot of R&B groups out there who think talkin' dirty is the only way to get to a girl's heart..."
Rap Pages (3/98, p.112) - "...Playa has come correct with a mellosmoothe vibe straight out of the '70's....Playa's delivery is seasoned and professional, ensuring phenomenal success if they maintain their obvious allegiance to perfection..."

"Excellent R&B Material"
If you like R&B with a similar ol'school influence produced by Timberland circa '98 at it's best then this album is for you. Playa can sing, have raw talent, & songwriting skill. Song's like "All The Way", "I-65", "Top of The World", "One Man Woman", "Buggin' Over You", & "Together" along with others are sure to satisfy. There are 3 interludes total which 2 of them include Magoo rapping, but not on the 1 Gospel interlude. Even though Playa are still around but have'nt released a follow-up album yet since this album was made I'm sure it will be "Off The Map". Overall this CD is one that you can play from the beginning to the end & it's a must have. A+++

Purchase Cheers 2 U CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | R Kelly R. CDs (1998)
Cheers 2 U album
 $14.89  
R. was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. "I'm Your Angel" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals. "When A Woman's Fed Up" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
R. Kelly proves that he's as prolific as he is talented on the two-disc set R., which not only culls together his most noteworthy and successful work, but is bursting with new tracks as well. Filled from start to finish with Kelly's unique blend of smooth vocal stylings and no-nonsense lyrical stance, this album also features the work of a few of his prominent friends--the opener, "Home Alone" sports a guest rap courtesy of Keith Murray, while "Money Makes The World Go Round" is graced by Nas.
A more mainstream pairing is witnessed in the dramatic show stopper "I'm your Angel," which finds Kelly alongside superstar ...

Cheers 2 U music CDs
$6.39 
NEVER SAY NEVER was nominated for a 1999 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. "The Boy Is Mine" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal, and was nominated for Record Of The Year and Best R&B Song. "Almost Doesn't Count" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
Avoiding the dreaded sophomore slump, Brandy delivers a fresh-sounding, well- crafted second album that sounds as much like pop as it does R&B. NEVER SAY NEVER features a song, "Have You Ever?," that was written by mega-songstress Diane Warren and produced by super-producer David Foster. The lead single, "The Boy is Mine" is a duet with fellow R&B'er Monica. Keeping up with the trend of big-time collaborations, multi-platinum rapper Mase makes an appearance on "Top of the World," which seems custom made for jeep jockeys.
Although sprinkled ...
