Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arguably the defining document of 1990s contemporary R&B, R. Kelly's solo debut dominated airwaves with hits like 'Bump n' Grind'. '12 Play' seamlessly transitions the energetic rhythms of new jack swing into smooth, highly sexualized, and deeply lush hip-hop soul ballads.
