H-Town

H-Town is a vocal group that made a significant impact in 1993 under the guidance of 2 Live Crew creator Luther Campbell. Their breakthrough single, ‘Knockin’ da Boots,’ reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, establishing them as a part of the new wave of contemporary vocal groups with a nod to vintage soul. The success of the single was mirrored by their album ‘Fever for da Flavor,’ which achieved platinum status. Following this, H-Town released their second and third albums, ‘Beggin’ After Dark’ (1994) and ‘Ladies Edition, Woman’s World’ (1997), both of which attained gold certification. Despite their early success, the group faced challenges, including the tragic loss of founding member Kevin ‘Dino’ Conner and his girlfriend in a car accident. In 2004, the surviving members, Solomon ‘Shazam’ Conner and Darryl ‘G.I.’ Jackson, independently released their fourth album, ‘Imitations of Life.’ H-Town’s journey continued as they collaborated with other artists, such as Jodeci and Pretty Ricky, on singles like ‘Knockin’ Your Heels’ (2009). In recent years, H-Town remains active in the music scene, releasing new music like the single ‘Green Light 713′ featuring Lil’ Flip in 2019, followed by the EP ‘Date Night.’ Their 2023 release, ‘Strokey Doke,’ propelled the group back onto the charts, with the single making it to the Top-30 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart and marking the solo debut of Shazam Conner as an artist.
