Info Concerto

Rob Base, born Robert Ginyard in Harlem, hit big with “It Takes Two” alongside DJ E-Z Rock. Known for pioneering hip-house, their track ruled dance floors and climbed Billboard's Top 40. Despite personal and legal challenges, Base released solo work, though none matched their initial success. The duo briefly reunited before E-Z Rock's death in 2014.

Miami-born Vanilla Ice topped charts with "Ice Ice Baby," a hit sampling Bowie/Queen. His album "To the Extreme" dominated for 16 weeks, selling over 7 million. Despite attempts to reinvent his style, subsequent albums saw limited success.

Born in 1969, Montell Jordan rose to fame with "This Is How We Do It,” ruling the Hot 100 for seven weeks. A Grammy-nominated artist with over 10 million records sold, he's now a pastor in Atlanta, known for blending R&B with soulful styles.
