Welcome to another Thursday as that mean we are closer to the weekend. This was the first week where R&B was played more than hip hop. Ginuwine, Michael Jackson, Monica, Marvin Gaye and the Waiting to Exhale Soundtrack were bumped. On the hip hop side, E-40, Busta Rhymes, Do or Die, Celly Cel and Silkk the Shocker made the playlist. As you can see, there were many to select from to be featured for Throwback Thursday. One album that wasn’t mentioned was The Future by Guy. This album was released all the way in November of 1990. The group Guy was led by the legendary producer Teddy Riley. The album was the follow-up to their self-titled double platinum debut from a couple years prior. During this era, New Jack Swing was really popular and Riley was the go-to guy.
For the featured track, this isn’t an up-tempo track, but a classic slow jam. The name of the cut is called Let’s Chill and it was one of the biggest hits in 1990 to 1991. You will find Let’s Chill on many 90s R&B or just slow jam mixtapes. Let’s Chill was their second single off the album and it’s definitely my favorite song off the album. Overall, the album was really good, but Let’s Chill is the standout track. For those who haven’t listened to the album or just hasn’t in a while no need to worry.
