Has continuously rejuvenated and reshaped aspects of traditional black music since his breakthrough with 's 'Little Walter' (1988). In retrospect, that number one R&B/hip-hop hit - with its modern sound and clever incorporation of the melody from the spiritual 'Wade in the Water' - seems like a statement of intent that has guided the stylish retro-contemporary singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and producer throughout a discography of tremendous depth. As the multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated wound down in the mid-'90s, eased into a second life as an all-purpose collaborator.
He didn't get around to making his first solo album, (2002), until after hits with ('Lady,' 'Untitled'), ('Dance Tonight'), and ('Soul Sista'). Since winning a Grammy shortly thereafter as a co-writer of 's 'Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop),' has balanced commissioned work and solo projects, alternating between high achievements beside peers and inspirations and imaginative throwback LPs such as the Top 20 hits (2008) and (2011), and (2019).

The trio appeared in 1987 with the independently released 'One Night Stand' - an uptempo 12' in the realm of and - and then signed with Mercury subsidiary Wing. From 1988 through 1996, released four distinguished albums, all of which went gold, platinum, or multi-platinum. Among 12 supporting Top Ten R&B/hip-hop hits beginning with 'Little Walter' were 'Feels Good,' 'If I Had No Loot,' and the Grammy-nominated 'Anniversary,' crossover smashes that cracked the Top Ten of the Hot 100. Near the end of 's decade together, Wiggins adopted the last name and recorded 'Ask of You' for the soundtrack. Issued as a single, the song entered the R&B/hip-hop chart in March 1995 and reached the second spot. Rather than capitalize upon that success to launch a solo career, was content away from the spotlight as a collaborator and even dipped into A&R as the operator of Pookie Records.
