Dave Hollister

Onetime R&B session vocalist Dave Hollister first appeared on the soundtrack of
Boyz N the Hood. In the early nineties he was also part of Force One Network
but using the pseudonym "Blacque"
Hollister got his big break as an original member of Teddy Riley's Blackstreet, performing
on their 1994 debut album. He departed shortly thereafter to pursue a solo career,
not only as a singer but also as a songwriter and producer. Hollister's first recorded
effort as a solo act, the Erick Sermon/Redman collaboration "Weekend," was featured
on the movie soundtrack The Ride and released as a single in 1998. His solo debut
album, Ghetto Hymns, was issued in 1999. Chicago 85: The Movie followed a year later.
