With her 1992 debut What’s The 411?, Blige folded the nascent sounds of hip-hop into her music and its aesthetic into her style. HERstory Vol.1 reflects on that era and on Blige’s emergence as the queen of hip-hop soul. The collection, spanning singles, collaborations, and remixes, maps her early trajectory from “Real Love” all the way to 1997’s “Love Is All We Need.” Even alongside some of the most acclaimed rappers of all time—Jay-Z, Method Man, Nas, and Biggie—Blige pierces through.

What's your sign? From Aires to Pisces, the unbelievable BlowFly touches every sign of the zodiac on this album with his own astrological readings on what turns each of us on. BlowFly himself says he's an Aquarian...one of those impetuous daring water bearers who like to talk and tell it like they like it. This, the fourth of the fabulous BlowFly albums, is guaranteed to warm up your stereo set as the BlowFly cooks his way across the calendar. Like all Aquarians, BlowFly is pretty cock-sure about his Zodiacal interpretations, so if you want to put your friend in place (Any place you dig, baby), let 'em in on BlowFly's reading of his chart. If you're a disc jockey reading this, even if you're a Scorpio, we don't suggest you play this record on the air. The Zodiac BlowFly album is strictly for consenting adults and must be used in the privacy of your own home.
