Chuck Arnold of People said the album displayed "an innocent, youthful appeal. B2K entered the Billboard album chart at the number two spot. We like people to feel joyful and youthful-that they can do whatever they want to do if they put their minds to it." In addition to dance tunes, the group included some love ballads, including the second hit single, "Gots ta Be." Many R&B fans noticed such varied musical influences as Kris Kross, Boyz II Men, and Michael Jackson. Describing the group's first album, J-Boog told Toi Moore of Billboard: "It's very energetic, because we like to dance. Fans responded not only to the music but to the quartet's dance moves and physical appeal. Before it became a radio hit, however, "Uh Huh" became a popular video on MTV and Black Entertainment Television (BET). By January of that year they had a hit single, the dance tune "Uh Huh," written by J-Boog and Li'l Fizz, which spent five weeks at number one on the R&B charts. Paired with the teen rapper Lil' Bow Wow, they joined 2001's popular Scream tour, giving them exposure that generated publicity for the group even before it released any recordings.ī2K's self-titled debut album was slated for release in March of 2002. "Luckily, 'b' is the second letter in the alphabet, and we came up with B2K, which is Boys of the New Millennium."Īfter recording with a few small labels, B2K signed with Epic Records in 2001, giving them access to the mainstream R&B music market. " really didn't mean anything, so we started going through the alphabet," J-Boog told Nicole Walker of Jet. The teens initially called themselves Y2K, a popular buzzword at the turn of the twenty-first century that soon became too limiting. Now a quartet, the singers recorded a demo and honed their dance moves with a choreographer. One of Stokes's first moves was to bring in Omarion as lead singer. Stokes, who is Raz-B's cousin, also manages the group IMx, which includes J-Boog's cousin Marques "Batman" Houston. Conflicts with the group's first manager prompted the singers to sign with industry veterans Chris Stokes and Ketrina Askew of the Los Angeles-based Ultimate Group. Originally a trio comprised of J-Boog, Li'l Fizz, and Raz-B, the group formed in Los Angeles in 1998. Leaving screaming fans in their wake, the singers gained a reputation for their hot onstage act and videos, where they showcased slick dance moves and a kinetic style. The group's four handsome crooners-Omarion, J-Boog, Li'l Fizz, and Raz-B-quickly became teen heartthrobs. Mixing hip-hop, rap, and love ballads, the group's urban music gained rapid appeal in the mainstream pop market. The R&B boy quartet B2K took the teen music world by storm in early 2002 when it released the hit dance single "Uh Huh" and the eponymous album B2K. The group disbanded in 2004 due to disagreements.

The group met in 1998, established in 2001, and managed by music producer Chris Stokes with Lil' Fizz, J-Boog, Raz-B, and Omarion as members.
