Rome - Do You Like This (1997)

Billboard Hot 100: #31
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: #10

His first single, "I Belong To You", was one of the biggest R&B hits of the late 90s. It was still getting a lot of airplay when this single was released. Even though this song was a Top 10 R&B hit, it was always overshawdowed by "I Belong To You", causing a lot of people to forget about it. And since Rome has never matched the success of "I Belong To You", people consider him a one hit wonder (which technically isn't true). This was the second single from his self-titled debut album.

Portarit - Honey Dip (1993)

Billboard Hot 100: Did Not Chart
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: #18

At the time of their debut, the New Jack Swing era was just about dead. If they came out just a few years earlier, they probably would've been more successful. This was the follow-up single to their biggest hit "Here We Go Again". It's from their self-titled debut album.

Heavy D & The Boyz - Got Me Waiting (1994)

Billboard Hot 100: #20
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: #3
Hot Rap Songs: #1

Heavy D is an underrated artist. A lot of his songs are "forgotten", but this was actually the second biggest hit of his career after his signature song "Now That We Found Love" . Even with that, you'd probably remember "We Got Our Own Thang", "Is It Good To You" or "Big Daddy" before you remember this one.
