RK Promotions Presents

Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike

4 The Love Of It Tour Featuring Bobbie Brown. Plus Bell Biv DeVoeH-Town and Mya

Ronnie DeVoe, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell & Mike Bivins, formerly of New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe, are now known as “RBRM.” They’ve joined forces to combine their extensive catalogue of high energy mega-hits and dynamic stage presence.
Bell Biv DeVoe is a successful splinter group of New Edition that consists of three previous members, Ricky Bell (also known as Slick), Michael Bivins (also known as Biv), and Ronnie DeVoe (also known as R.D.). Bell Biv DeVoe began to take shape in the late ’80s, but not until completing the tour in support of Heart Break did the threesome decide to make the break from New Edition officially.At the suggestion of producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, they chose to chart their own course. Bell Biv Devoe’s debut album Poison has a variety of producers, including Jam and Lewis, Wolf & Epic (Richard Wolf & Bret “Epic” Mazur), Guy’s Timmy Gatling, and Public Enemy’s Hank Shocklee and Keith Shocklee. As a result, Bell Biv DeVoe’s first album “Poison” has a larger new jack swing composition as compared to New Edition releases. BBD was a pioneering group that was the first to successfully combine hip-hop with R&B & pop.

The CD was released in 1990, and its title track became a #1 hit on the R&B chart. The singles that followed were “Do Me!”, “B.B.D. (I Thought It Was Me)?”, “When Will I See You Smile Again”, and “Dope!” (the latter was retitled “She’s Dope!” upon release due to the rising drug abuse among children at the time). Poison sold over three million copies. The remix album W.B.B.D.BootCity:The Remixes, with the Wolf & Epic produced “Word To The Mutha!” as accompanying single, was released the next year and was certified gold. Bell Biv Devoe sold in excess of 4 million albums, prompting performances on the 1990 American Music Awards and other such ceremonies.

Bivins took time off from recording to search for new talent and bring together the East Coast Family, discovering and producing debut albums for the groups for Another Bad Creation and Boyz II Men. Bell Biv DeVoe’s sophomore album, Hootie Mack, was released in 1993 and spawned the singles “Gangsta”, “Above The Rim”, “Something In Your Eyes” and “Show Me the Way”. In 1996, Bell, Bivins, and DeVoe participated in the reunion of New Edition and toured in support of the CD Home Again on the RCA record label. In 2002, Bell Biv DeVoe’s third album, B.B.D., was released. This latest effort saw Bell Biv Devoe exploring a more, hardcore rap style/R&B approach.
