B2k

Led by frontman Omarion, the R&B boy band B2K exploded in the early years of the new millennium with hip-hop–tinged hits like “Bump, Bump, Bump.” • Members Jarell Damonté “J-Boog” Houston Sr., De’Mario Monte “Raz-B” Thornton, and Dreux Pierre “Lil Fizz” Frédéric started out as part of another group called Melodic.

On New Year’s Eve 1999, they invited Omarion to join the fold.

• The name B2K means “Boys of the New Millennium.” • The group’s self-titled 2002 debut album peaked at No.
