B2K
B2K was an American R&B boy band that was active from 1998 to 2004.
2001–02 Formation and self-titled debut album
The group met in 1998 and was managed by music producer Chris Stokes with Lil' Fizz, J-Boog, and Raz-B as members. During a New Year's Eve party that Chris Stokes was hosting in 1999, Omarion joined the group. They named their group B2K (Boys of the new Millennium) to represent the fact that they got together in the beginning of the year 2000. They had made a cameo in Lil' Bow Wow's video for Ghetto Girls, and were the opening act on the Scream Tour I.
B2K broke into the US pop charts in late 2001 with the infectious "Uh Huh", a driven by more-dance-than-hip-hop beats and a hot delivery, contrasting from the usual material favored by boy bands. The group's debut album, B2K was released on March 12, 2002. The album peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs albums chart.
Their debut album included follow-up singles including "Gots Ta Be", which managed to break the top 40 by charting at #34. The final single, Why I Love You, was released in the spring, along with a music video that featured cameos from labelmate Jhene and Naya Rivera. Even though it had very little success on the Billboard 100, charting at #73, it broke the top 20 on the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, charting at #19. Nevertheless, the group's debut album was certified Gold in the summer. B2K also performed a concert special for Nickelodeon in July of that year. They were also featured in the magazines Word Up and Right On, along with other R&B artists.
