'''''Reel to Reel''''' is the debut album by American rapper [[Grand Puba]]. It was Puba's first solo venture, following group projects with the likes of the short lived group Masters of Ceremony and [[Brand Nubian]]. Both of the group’s albums were critically acclaimed but failed to duplicate that success in terms of album sales. The album was largely produced by Puba himself, with help from the Stimulated Dummies, [[Kid Capri]] and others. ''Reel to Reel'' includes the number one Rap hit "360 Degrees (What Goes Around)", as well as the singles "Check it Out" (featuring a young [[Mary J. Blige]]), and "Ya Know How it Goes." |
|||
The album was preceded by two charted [[Single (music)|single]]s: "360° (What Goes Around)" and "Check It Out". Its [[lead single]], "360° (What Goes Around)", reached No. 68 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], No. 30 on the [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] and No. 1 on the [[Hot Rap Songs]]. The second single, "Check It Out" featuring [[Mary J. Blige]], made it to No. 85 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and No. 13 on the Hot Rap Songs. The album's third single, "Ya Know How It Goes", was released in 1993 and did not make it to any [[Billboard charts|''Billboard'' charts]]. |
