We\u2019re in a time in music when it\u2019s very easy to lose track of your favorite artists from years past; especially the ones who haven\u2019t released music on a consistent basis.<\/p>\n
As one of the main authorities in R&B Music, we\u2019ve once again taken on the ambitious task to fill in R&B fans on the current whereabouts on all of the Male Groups from the 2000\u2019s (2000-2009). Whereas the 90\u2019s era was one of the best we will ever see for male R&B groups, the 2000\u2019s certainly was not able to keep up.<\/p>\n
The 2000s for male R&B groups was a mixed bag. While the late 90s saw the peak of the boy band phenomenon, the new decade brought a shift towards solo stardom. The most successful group of the era was undoubtedly B2K, who capitalized on a teen-pop aesthetic and achieved massive success with their hit singles and a movie. However, the group later disbanded, and their lead singer, Omarion, went on to have a successful solo career, which mirrored the broader trend of the time.<\/p>\n
Other groups like Pretty Ricky and Day26 had notable moments, often with a grittier or more explicit sound, and were frequently associated with reality TV shows like \u201cMaking the Band.\u201d While these groups saw some success, they generally lacked the staying power and widespread impact of their 90s predecessors like Boyz II Men or Jodeci. The era\u2019s focus on individual artists and the ability for male singers to blend R&B with hip-hop and pop on their own led to a decline in the number of successful male R&B groups.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve compiled the below information from various sources which most importantly include being on the R&B scene for many years and making it our job to be on the pulse of the latest news. Have you ever found yourself wondering \u201cWhatever happened to\u2026\u201d your favorite artist? Hopefully we\u2019ve helped to answer that question. You\u2019ll find that most of the groups on the list below are now sadly broken up or dissolved, but at least left us with quality music while they were still releasing it. This list includes the R&B groups who debuted between 2000 and 2009. Click on any artist name to see all recent posts about that artist.<\/p>\n
