Another Bad Creation

So, And he introduced to the world his production company, which was Viv Entertainment.

And he introduced ABC.

That was his first act that he introduced first.

And then after he introduced ABC, he introduced Boyz II Men.

So Mark hit me on the show.

He said, yo, you need to look at this.

Sure enough, he called in two weeks and he said, I want you to be a part of the East Coast family.

You know, I want you to meet the fellas.

That's what you are back in 1998 as a solo artist, actually.

Chris Sellers was born in 1979, New Jack's swing singer for the group Another Bad Creation, discovered by Michael Bivens of Bell Biv DeVoe and also New Edition.

As far as Another Bad Creation, they had songs like Aisha and Playground.

Lil Durk was born in 1992, Chicago drill rap pioneer.

Lil Wap 17 was born in 1997, underground trap artist.

It didn't make a huge sudden splash, but it started this climb, and definitely used in weddings all the time.

Let me ask some questions.

Bell Biv DeVoe, Another Bad Creation, Boyz II Men, MC Brains, The East Coast Family, Biv Entertainment, and then Biv Ten Records.

It was like every musical road I was traveling somehow passed through the same intersection, November 5th, 1955.

I just didn't know it yet.

Yeah

...

ABC kind of the first one out, and then Boyz II Men was shortly behind, and, and obviously-

Anybody else you want to name? There's tons of people.

You've got Another Bad Creation, you've got Notified Nature, Cypress Hill.

So many.

I

Maybe, you know, like it doesn't need to be gritty.

It could be like the same tone.

And, you know, I was thinking about this actually like another bad creation.

I was just like.
