Mary J. Blige
Crowned the new "Queen of Hip-Hop
Soul," Mary J. Blige enjoyed a breakout year
in 1992 with "What's the 411?" Such singles as "Reminisce"
and "Real Love"
thrust the Atlanta-born singer into the spotlight at age 21. She was raised in
Yonkers and performed in local groups before making her debut for the
Uptown label. The album went platinum, and a remixed version was later issued.
The single "Reminisce" had a second life when it was reworked and
re-done in a
rap version by the duo of Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth. After 1994's "My
Life",
she released "Share My World" in 1997. "The Tour" appeared a
year later, and
in 1999 she returned with "Mary". Her sixth album "No More
Drama" was
released in 2001.
