Bluff City - Rhythm & Bluff (2023)

Bluff City is a rare vocal R&B group active in the 2010s. Memphis natives Roney and Rakeem, along with Raleigh-Durham native Frank, started building a following in 2013 with a series of uploads -- covers of classics and remixes of contemporary hits, as well as some original songs. After they added fourth member Trevante, a Houstonian who had released solo material earlier in the decade, the Atlanta-based group made a commercial breakthrough with "Let Me Show You." Produced by Troy Taylor, a Grammy-winning veteran who has worked with groups such as Boyz II Men and SWV, along with the likes of Aretha Franklin and Trey Songz (as well as a teenaged Trevante), the ballad was released in January 2018 and reached Billboard's Adult R&B chart the next month.~Bluff City Biography by Andy Kellman
