Smarty's Scenario

Movies like "A Thin Line Between Love & Hate," "Above the Rim," "Boomerang," "Waiting to Exhale," "Rush Hour," and others produced some of the most memorable songs from the 90s.

The 90s married R&B and hip hop to create a match made in Heaven. Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige, The Tonies with DJ Quick and Keith Sweat featuring the dearly departed Lefteye get the party started.

Throwback to when singing groups were still a thing - Jodeci, TLC, Shai, Xscape, DC3 and Zhane provide the soundtrack.

This episode is powered by femcees. Bahamadia, The Lady of Rage, Lin Que and Smooth all bring this mix to life.

A wonderful mix of my favorite songs performed and written by Babyface. Johnny Gill, Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston and Damien Dame breathe life into these songs.

This is a very special edition of the Scenario featuring holiday hits by Mariah Carey, Tevin Campbell, Anita Baker, A Few Good Men, Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige and the Quad City DJs.

The 90s brought us a plethora of remakes from the 70s and 80s. Here are some of my faves from H-Town, Mary J., TLC, Worl-a-Girl and Jodeci.

The poster child for Jive Records was one Robert Kelly. Because I have my own convictions, he is not a part of this mix - directly. We do hear from Aaliyah, D-Nice, The Souls of Mischief, Fu-Schnickens and Tupac.

Island/Def Jam was responsible for so many bangers from Jay-Z, Foxy Brown, Case, Montell Jordan, Dru Hill and Kelly Price.

This episode features music from singers and an animated MC who left us entirely too soon. Providing us with the soundtrack are Aaliyah, TLC, Brownstone, Whitney Houston and Blaque.

Bands certainly made us dance in the 90s. Morris Day & The Time, The Tonies, The Roots, Mint Condition, Jodeci and Guy provide the soundtrack.

A few songs of encouragement for a childhood friend who is currently kicking breast cancer's bootay! Sounds of Blackness, Soul II Soul, Mariah Carey and Desiree provide the soundtrack.

In honor of the best songs on 90s albums that were not released as singles. Soundtrack provided by Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans, Jodeci, Blackgirl, Deborah Cox and Xscape.

This mix includes music by Guy, Portrait, Joe Public, Karyn White, Samuelle, Pebbles and Today. It honors the sub-genre of R&B music created by Teddy Riley and Bernard Belle.

This mix is dedicated to some of the best to ever do it in the 90s. KRS-ONE, Method Man, Nas, Naughty By Nature, Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G. and Eric B. and Rakim provide the soundtrack.

This mix is dedicated to those artists in the 90s who would have been considered a little 'earthy.' PM Dawn, De La Soul, The Fugees, Erykah Badu and A Tribe Called Quest provide the soundtrack.

If you can't love me like a 90s R&B song, I don't want it! Soundtrack provided by Lo-Key?, Pebbles feat. Babyface, Solo, Gerald Levert, Keith Sweat and Toni Braxton.

The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, lost her battle with pancreatic cancer. She did leave us with some dynamic music to remember her. Here are a few of my favorites from the 90s.
