Blige by Mr. Combs, is touted as the successor, has with her debut "FAITH" In 1995, an impressive debut laid. 15 tracks is the present first-powerful (including Interludes) and moves musically between finest soul ballads and dance Swingbeat sweepers. Was produced throughout the course of label owners Puff Daddy but also others, which perhaps makes the whole album as good. So then also poke and Tyme of the Track Masters at work, Chucky Thompson or Herb Middleton were. In addition, the potential, especially through the media like to bring jurors because marketable, competitive, between the "Queen Of Hip-Hop / Soul," Mary J.
