Remember these sultry slow jams?
Back in the day, Bad Boy churned out the hits like clockwork and a lot of 90s baby-making went down courtesy of the back-to-back R&B jams Puff Daddy and the family were spinning out during the label’s heyday. Back then artists like 112 and Carl Thomas kept it hot like no one else on the charts could.
These were the absolute best slow jams to come out of the “can’t stop, won’t stop” era and we know you have some unforgettable memories to prove it. (Wink!)
