Jenkins (known to fans as Lil G) made his stage debut in 2002 as AJ in the Tyler Perry play "Madea's Family Reunion". In 2002, Elektra Records trimmed its artist roster and dropped Silk and Sweat from the label.

3) The '90s R&B trio Silk was one of the many groups to arrive from that genre in the wake of classic Motown and during the heyday of their native Philadelphia scene. The group was never as famous as most of their contemporaries, but they still managed to release two albums before they disbanded in the late '90s, 1997's Smooth as Silk and 1997's Silk.
Not to be confused with 90's R'n'B Silk.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Silk's song Alibi are a conversation between Silk and a woman, whom he is accusing of lying about her whereabouts. Silk is upset that the woman, who he refers to as "baby" at the beginning, has blown up his phone and is questioning her about her whereabouts. When the woman tells Silk that she was with her friends, talking about "girl shit," Silk does not believe her and accuses her of lying. He claims that he saw her and knows that she is lying to him. The woman continues to deny Silk's accusations, stating that her conversation with her friends was her alibi. The song is repetitive, with Silk accusing the woman of lying and the woman repeating that her alibi is true.

The lyrics to Alibi are all about trust and the breakdown of a relationship due to accusations of dishonesty. Silk is feeling hurt that the woman he loves has allegedly lied to him, and he cannot seem to accept her explanation. The woman, on the other hand, is doing her best to convince Silk that she is telling the truth but cannot seem to get through to him. The song is a classic R&B tune that was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s.
