Public Announcement is an American R&B group, which was created by R.Kelly in 1991 after the R&B artist fired his former group MGM. They teamed with the singer for their collaboration album Born into the 90's (1992). The group is known for R&B hit songs like " She's Got That Vibe", " Honey Love", " Slow Dance (Hey Mr. DJ)", " Dedicated", " Body Bumpin' (Yippie-Yi-Yo)", and " Mamacita". [1]
In 1999, a song called "John Doe", from their album Don't Hold Back on Epic was released and was a minor R&B/Hip-Hop hit, which led to the album release being delayed. A few months later, in 2000, a new lead single called " Mamacita" was released. It was a moderate success entering number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100. After that, "John Doe" was re-released and went on to enter the Hot 100 at number 95. Another single named "Man Ain't Supposed To Cry" was a top forty R&B/Hip-Hop hit. [2]
