His next big move was when he was signed to Teddy Riley's R&B group BLACKstreet in 1994. He worked with the group on their first album and then left the group to pursue his own solo career. He was signed to DreamWorks Records and began working on an album.
In 1999, Hollister released his first albumm, Ghetto Hymns. The album was successful, going gold, and creating one hit single, "My Favorite Girl." "My Favorite Girl" reached #10 on the R&B charts.
Hollister's follow-up album, Chicago '85... The Movie was released in 2000. The album was an autobiographical work and went gold. "One Woman Man" the album's biggest single, reached #8 on the R&B charts.
For his third effort, Hollister moved to Motown Records. He hoped the new label would instill new energy into his music. The album, Things In the Game Done Changed was released in 2002 and faired poorly on the charts and radio.
As a result of the album's shortcomings, Hollister returned to DreamWorks where he released Real Talk in 2003. Following the album's release, Hollister moved to Gospo Centric.
Hollister is reportedly wrapping up his fifth album in the industry, The Book of David: Vol. 1 The Transition. The album will be coming out on September 26, 2006 from Gospo Centric.

I'm Sorry
Dave Hollister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sorry
For what happened between me and her
And it's over
Ya know what I'm sayin'?
I was wrong, mmm
I let a lonely night get between us, mmm hmm
But this shorty, mm hmm
She didn't mean anything to me
I let my little man thing, mess up our family
Please forgive me baby
It's over, this is what I told her
Don't call me no more
Forget my number
'Cause I'm with my favorite girl
She's the woman that I love
I know I was wrong
But making love to you wouldn't get me sprung
Cause I'm with my favorite girl
She's the one that I adore
I was so damn wrong, lady
I let you down and brought tears to your eyes
But even then you stayed in my corner
Now I, I can't imagine life without you
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
That's why I had to tell her, don't call me no more
Don't call me no more
Forget my number
'Cause I'm with my favorite girl
She's the woman that I love
Don't call me no more
Forget my number
'Cause I'm with my favorite girl
She's the woman that I love
So don't leave me baby
I'm down on my knees
But it's over, I told her
(She's the one that I adore)
Let me dry your tears
'Cause I feel your pain
But it's over, she knows
(She's the one that I adore)
There's no more tears to cry for you
And it hurts me more than you'll ever know
But I said this to her
(She's the one that I adore)
Don't call me no more
Forget my number
'Cause I'm with my favorite girl
She's the woman that I love
The song "I'm Sorry" by Dave Hollister portrays a man who is apologizing to his partner for cheating on her while she was out of town. He acknowledges that he was wrong and that he let his momentary desire mess up their family. However, he assures his partner that it was just a one-time thing and that the other woman did not mean anything to him. He asks for forgiveness and tells his partner that he is no longer in contact with the other woman and that he only wants to be with his partner, his "favorite girl."
The song has a deep emotional impact as it highlights the betrayal, pain, and heartache that people go through when they are cheated on. The lyrics show a man who has realized his mistake and regrets his actions, but also acknowledges the damage that he has done to his relationship. The repeated line of "she's the woman that I love" emphasizes the importance of the partner and the desire to reconcile and move on from the infidelity.
Overall, the message of the song is one of redemption and forgiveness. It shows that people can make mistakes, but with honesty, communication, and effort, it is possible to overcome them and rebuild a strong and healthy relationship.
