Top 10 New Jack Albums 1988-92

by DJ Aftermath

The New Jack Swing movement was an incredible wave that hit the R&B scene in the late '80s and continued into the early '90s. The style was invented by Teddy Riley and featured the integration of various rhythms, samples and production techniques with urban contemporary R&B. The movement was huge, appearing all over pop culture and helping hip-hop become available to broader audiences.
