HI-FIVE is an R&B/pop group that released their first and self-titled album in
1990. The album went platinum and was produced by legendary producer Teddy
Riley; it included such singles as "I Just Can't Handle It" (R&B #10B), "I Can't Wait
Another Minute" (Pop #8, R&B #1), and their biggest hit to date, "I Like the Way
(The Kissing Game)", which went to #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and the U.S.
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart. The group was aggressively marketed by Jive and
was part of the "new jack swing" sound that dominated much of the early to mid-
1990s urban contemporary radio format. HI-FIVE enjoyed some mainstream
success and were essentially similar in design to R&B counterparts such as H-
Town, Shai, Public Announcement, and perhaps most notably, Boyz II Men. The
group's single, "Too Young" was featured on John Singleton's Boyz n the Hood, the
soundtrack from the movie. RIP TUT
