This chart-topping hit remained at number 1 for four consecutive weeks, becoming a signature track for the group. Prior to this breakthrough, their first single “Baby Be Mine” from the Universal Pictures comedy CB4 (starring Chris Rock) showcased their early talent.

The debut album, simply titled “Blackstreet,” featured hit singles like “Booti Call,” “Before I Let You Go,” and “Joy.” Notably, “Before I Let You Go” reached the Top 10, solidifying their presence on the R&B charts. In 1996, Blackstreet continued their success with the release of their second album, “Another Level,” featuring the chart-topping single “No Diggity.”

The group’s achievements were further recognized in 1998 when they won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. Blackstreet’s legacy in the R&B genre is marked by their influential sound and chart-topping hits, making them a significant presence in the music industry.
