12 Play by R. Kelly
Released: November 9th, 1993
It may seem strange to say now, but no one saw Kellz’ future domination of 90s R&B coming. Initially, after the moderate success of his debut album with Public Announcement, Born Into the 90s, Kelly seemed to be the singer most likely to assume the mantle vacated by Guy. But on this, his solo debut, Kelly revealed the depths of his songwriting talent and the persona that would define him: the hypersexed, hip-hop-influenced loverman.
