The group signed with Jive Records after R. Kelly met the members from Public Announcement and auditioned the guys to be his back up singers and dancers. R. Kelly & Public Announcement released their debut album, Born into the 90's in January 1992. One of the last albums to be released during the new jack swing period of the early nineties, the album yielded the hits "She's Got That Vibe", "Honey Love", "Dedicated", and "Slow Dance (Hey Mr. DJ)" all of which was led by Kelly, eventually leading to the album reaching a million copies domestically and going platinum. The group was billed as R. Kelly and Public Announcement essentially making the group backup members for Kelly rather than a cohesive unit. After a successful tour ended in 1993, Kelly parted ways with Public Announcement to focus on a solo career, whereas the group was suddenly left in limbo after his departure. Boykins decided to stick with Kelly instead of continuing on with the group. According to his myspace page, Boykins is currently a songwriter and producer at the Chocolate Factory studio in Chicago, he often tours with Kelly, and has been featured in many of Kelly's videos such as "I Wish", "When a Woman's Fed Up", and "Contagious" by The Isley Brothers to name a few.

Chicago West's Variety Of Sound
@Leticia
It was indeed, a very exciting time!
You played ball in the park, guys walking with their girls, mall strolling, all the while hearing Bro's bumpin R&B track sounds like this in their cars and trucks. Clubbing where Bro's gave Sis's the "Ultimate Respect!"
Admiring their femininity and Organic Natural Beauty*, an not all this *Inked Up Fake Body Part Unnaturalness that exists today....
A time when a Bruh could meet a Sis, buy her a drink of her choice with another Bruh standing by peepin wanting to close in,, but bowing out respectfully, gracefully if he felt you both had something going on. 😎
You'd get out the club, ask the lady if she had an appetite and wanted breakfast and if she did, you headed to a Waffle house or diner, paid for her breakfast and continued getting to know her, making sure numbers were exchanged before heading home....
Now of course, that was just one scenario of many, but the point is, those were times when "Respect" was shown. We were all out to have a good time!
Was there an occasional fight? Yes! Potential altercations where Bruh's would come close to throwing hands? Yeah, but ultimately in most cases guys would break up things before they got crazy, resulting in police involvement.
Sorry for the long comment, bur those were such good times!!!!
You didn't leave your home going to pick up your partna's thinking you had to have a weapon because of potential gun violence and all this other stuff going on now...
Things have DRASTICALLY CHANGE!
Leave now and go clubbing, "That is, " If You Can Find Suitable Music,"" and your wondering if you'll make it home without getting shot❗️🤔
Times are so different now, and not getting any better.
