DJ Shakim, healing for sale the kinetic DJ, kicked off the show for BBD last night with a medley of tunes that spanned nearly 40 years of Hip-Hop and R&B. Many in the crowd wished he would have came on much earlier.

Ricky Bell, Ron DeVoe and Mike Bivins, aka Bell Biv DeVoe, turned in a seasoned and funkdafied performance (including their smash hit “Poison”) at Chevy Court last night
Probably no of us thought that within the New Edition franchise it would be Bell Biv DeVoe (BBD) who emerged as the most consistent spin-off. And to make sure we don’t forget, Michael Bivins announced during the show that in 2015 BBD would be recording a new album, going out on tour, and even doing a television project. How’s that for poison control!
