What's the 411? — 1992
Mary J. Blige
Released 1992Soul & R&B
Essential
A foundational hip-hop-soul debut. Sharp and influential. A genre cornerstone. The record that introduced Mary J. Blige to serious listeners.
On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
