Starting on Angelfire in December 2001, Njs4ever.com has been celebrating New Jack Swing for nearly 20 years. NJS4E is currently thriving on Facebook, and appreciation for the New Jack Swing era is as strong as ever. In October 2020, Hulu will debut a horror-comedy film called Bad Hair set in 1989 “right when New Jack Swing is making Black music pop for the first time,” and in 2021, BET will debut The Uptown Story, a mini-series dedicated to Andre Harrell and the record label that birthed New Jack Swing and Hip-Hop/Soul.
The vibe and spirit of New Jack Swing has always been one of positivity and upward mobility, and 2020 is definitely a year that could use as much of that as possible. Stay tuned for more.
