: March 2006

Editor's Note: For the 3rd installment of Urban Outlook, we have audio interviews with two very special players in the history of New Jack Swing - the music, the movement, and the lifestyle. The subject is none other than Jeff Redd, a musician, producer, and record label executive who performed the hits "I Found Lovin,'" and "Love High," and was behind albums by Mary J. Blige, K-Ci & JoJo, and more! NJS4E's very own Jodecidal conducts a transcontinental interview from London to Los Angeles in this very insightful interview with one of New Jack Swing's shining stars, Jeff Redd, CEO of the new Sol Real Records!

The second interview has been graciously furnished by NJS4E's very own J-Boy, aka J-Mas from his FM radio show. And it features Christopher Martin, perhaps best known as Play from quintessential New Jack Era duo, Kid 'N' Play. Movies like House Party and songs such as "Rollin' With Kid'N'Play," and "2 Hype," and "Back 2 Basics," along with their saturday-morning cartoon show were true hallmarks of New Jack Swing's success!
