The Bassment Boyz are kicking the year off talking about June 20, 1988. On this date, New Edition and Bobby Brown dropped the career-defining albums; Heart Break and Don't Be Cruel. Both albums were a major shift from both acts' previous releases and they set the standard for r&b music for years to come.

How important were these albums to music in general?

What if Ralph made Don't Be Cruel would it have been just as successful?

If Bobby stayed in the group how would Heart Break have sounded?

Which was the better album?

Join us in The Bassment as we tackle those topics plus much more.
