I think those songs were just an extension of what our talent is.ĬHOC: Yeah, I like that question. Do you think those songs were bigger than the group itself?ĬHOC: I agree. Those songs still get played today! As you mentioned, you guys haven’t shared much of your story over the years (until now) and are allowing people to get to know you more. “Candy Rain” and “Every Little Thing I Do” were the group’s signature songs and both earned you RIAA certifications. JASE: “Every Little Thing I Do” was an absolute favorite and “Thinking of You.” I like how Jase sounded on “If You Want It” and “I Wanna Be Your Friend.” So, Choc and Jase: Is there one song that’s a personal favorite or brings back good memories?ĬHOC: I agree with Brian. Brian, you revealed that “If You Want It” is one of the best songs you recorded.

He was considering doing something with us again. Even though things went in a different direction, we still grew past that. It was just a little something that happened between us that we got past. Looking back, is there anything that you would’ve done differently during that confrontation?ĬHOC: I guess I should take that question because that was my ordeal and conflict that I had with My feelings never changed about how I felt about the remix to the song I was already known for. In the episode, you all talked about how you came together to voice your concerns to Heavy D about doing a remix to “Every Little Thing I Do,” which would prevent Choc from having a lead vocal. I wouldn’t wish to go back and tell myself to change anything. If you saw the movie The Butterfly Effect, if there was a change somewhere, life wouldn’t be how it is now and things could be completely different. But really, my mind is just like this: Everything happens for a reason. To not take things out so much on myself. If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be? Jase, in the episode, you briefly spoke about the pressures that came with being the youngest and the lead singer of the group. In Rated R&B’s interview with Soul for Real, the brothers go into depth about their recent Unsung episode, explain why they don’t like to acknowledge their third album, their plans for a 25th-anniversary album and tour, their experience running a family restaurant and more. “I think the Unsung is kind of the tip of the iceberg.” That in itself was huge - being able to tell our story, a part of our story,” Brian tells Rated R&B. “For so long, people have identified with the record, but they haven’t put a face to the record. It’s a couple of days after the air date and the brothers (excluding Dre) are on a Zoom call with Rated R&B, reflecting on the stories they shared with viewers.
