My Take
Al B. Sure! belongs to a sound I have a lot of affection for. Born in Boston in 1968 and raised in Mount Vernon, New York, he was one of the defining voices of new jack swing during its late-1980s and early-1990s peak, that silky blend of R&B and hip-hop rhythm. What draws me to him is the refusal to stay in one lane: singer, songwriter, producer, radio host, actor. People who keep reinventing their craft tend to age well, and the fact that he is still active on social platforms tells me the creative engine never stopped. Music that captures a moment this precisely simply does not fade.
