On this week of the #SoulBackPodcast, we revisit R&B in 1998 and what was going out during that era of R&B. Names that will pop up during this conversation are Brandy, Monica, Whitney Houston, Faith Evans, Tamia, Lauryn Hill, 112, and Dru Hill. We talk about some of our favorite albums and songs from that year and also discuss some of the sleepers that people may have forgot about. We also discuss the industry during that time and some of the trends were happening during that time.
