BELL BIV DEVOE POISON SIDE A: Dope! B.B.D. (I Thought It Was Me)? Let Me Know Something!? Do Me! Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph And Johnny (Word To Mutha)! SIDE B: Poison Ain’t Nut’in Changed! When Will I See You Again? I Do Need You In 1988 KRS One made the poignant declaration of never trusting a “big butt and a smile” on Boogie Down Productions song “Jimmy”. Truer words have never been spoken. Fast forward 2 years later, Bell Biv DeVoe are smashing the charts (Urban to Pop) with their debut single “Poison”, and in taking KRS’s words of wisdom the exact phrase - “never trusting a big butt and a smile” has a major part of the chorus. The world over was singing it. Where once Hip Hop was borrowing from R&B, here the tables were turned, and for good reason : Bell Biv DeVoe weren’t making your typical New Jack Swing of the day, the music sounded closer to a Public Enemy or Ice Cube album. This wasn’t your parent’s R&B. With help from Public Enemy producers Eric Sadler, Hank and Keith Shocklee, and several others, Bell Biv Devoe had crafted their debut album Poison which went number 1 on Billboard's R&B/HipHop chart. Poison also spawned other significant hits which include the title track, “Do Me”, "B.B.D. (I Thought It Was Me)?" "When Will I See You Smile Again?" and "She's Dope”. The success this album had on R&B and Pop Culture was unimaginable. By this point other R&B artists tried their best at emulating the sound, style and (hate to say it) ‘swagger’ of BBD, but by then it was too late. What BBD was doing is not something many (even their former bandmates) could easily duplicate. And now listening to this album 23 years later it sounds just as fresh and exciting as it did the day it dropped. CAT.

Rbrm a Great 'New Edition' to the Lineup at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic
For Immediate Release RBRM A GREAT ‘NEW EDITION’ TO THE LINEUP AT HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINO ATLANTIC CITY SEPTEMBER 23 Atlantic City, NJ (June 11, 2018) – Germinating from the mothership phenomenon many remember as New Edition, sprouts yet another branch of brilliance calling themselves RBRM. In this history making effort Ronnie DeVoe, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, and Michael Bivins will be coming to Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City’s Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena on September 23 at 8 PM. With a respective 35+ years of entertainment experience under their belts, you can bet that RBRM will set a new standard of the performance excellence brand that New Edition fans have come to love and expect. In 1985, Bobby Brown left New Edition to pursue a solo career. His debut solo album, King of Stage, was released in 1986 on MCA Records and scored a number one R&B hit with his ballad “Girlfriend”. It wasn’t until Bobby’s sophomore solo effort, Don’t Be Cruel was released in 1989, when his star started to really shine with monster hits like the title track, “My Prerogative”, “Every Little Step” and “Rock Wit’cha”. Don’t Be Cruel would go on to be the top selling album at 8 times platinum. While Bobby’s career took off like a rocket ship, another byproduct of the New Edition mothership blasted off. The dynamic trio of Ricky Bell, Ronnie DeVoe and Michael Bivins, also known as Bell Biv Devoe, burst onto the scene in 1990 with their explosive debut Poison, selling over 4 million copies worldwide, producing four chart-topping singles including “Do Me!”, “B.B.D.
