Featuring guest appearances from Puff Daddy and Missy, this ambitious album took the streets by storm.
In addition to the mellow style of their previous album, they employed Timbaland and Bad Boy artists to present the cutting edge of hip-hop soul at the time.
This album vividly reflects the atmosphere of 1997, when R&B fully embraced the energy of hip-hop and entered a new dimension. It successfully maintains her signature powerful chorus work while coexisting with a more powerful beat. Despite featuring guest appearances by such distinctive personalities as Missy Elliott and Lil' Kim, Coco's lustrous vocals remain the core of the album. It reached #14 on the US Billboard 200 and #5 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. It was certified gold by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America).
