R. Kelly

This is why I’m Kells, this is why I’m Kells
This is why, this is why, this is why I’m Kells
I’m Kells 'cause I’m hot, you ain’t 'cause you not
This is why, this is why, this is why I’m Kells
If I’m on the hook, the shit is gonna sell
This is why, this is why, this is why I’m Kells
R&B King and I’m rolling down your block
Hits like a bomb when I let the beat drop
Southside, baby, Kells rooting for the Sox
In the club falling all over motherfuckers 'cause I'm intoxed
Girls take me home 'cause I’m good on the mattress
Yeah, I’m from the hood, but I be poking these actresses
Moral of the story is cuff your chick if she hot
May 29th, Double Up, bitch go cop

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
