For this week's episode of my mixshow podcast The Corner Radio I'm chopping it up with my R&B squad Kaye and JR about our top 5 slept on R&B albums from the 90's. Bet money this ep will not only bring back memories but school you to a lot of music that might have gone under your radar. And in case cats don't have time to peep the whole show and wanna get straight to the convo, skip to the 24:03 mark and you're good money.

So my question for the boards this week is what are your 5 slept on R&B albums from the 90's and why?
My top 5 are: Myron's Destiny album. Dude came out back in 97 when D' was MIA and tried to hop on the neo soul bandwagon. Had a jawn "We Can Get Down" with Spinderella that was REAL dope but the whole album is solid.
N'Dea Davenpot's self titled album. Shorty had a REAL dope album with soul, funk, blues, a lil New Orleans 2nd line...a REAL solid album.
Alfonso Hunter's Blacka Da Berry. Dude was the 1st singer signed to E. Sermon's Def Squad crew and his album was DOPE! E. Sermon had dude singin over the Smilin Billy Suite sample made famous by Tip for Nas' One Love for a slow song & the jawn was BONKERS!
Chico DeBarge's Long Time No See. Yeah, another dude biting D's style but damn it if you're gonna bite another man's style...do it right and I can't front, Chico's album was REAL DOPE! From Iggin' Me, Virgin & No Guarntee with Joe to he's take on Marvin's Trouble Man, Love Still Good & Superman it's real hard to front on this album.
Playa's Cheers To You. Never heard it? PLEASE go buy it not now but right now. An entire album produced by Timbaland and Statik on the writing tip? No way you're going wrong with that!
