Faithfully is the third studio album by American singer Faith Evans, released by Bad Boy Records in the United States on November 6, 2001 (see 2001 in music).  Featuring production by Sean Combs, The Neptunes, Cory Rooney, Michael Angelo Saulsberry, Mario Winans, it peaked at number 14 on the U.S. "Billboard" 200 and was certified gold by the RIAA.  The album spawned five total singles including Can't Believe featuring Carl Thomas, You Gets No Love featuring P. Diddy & Loon, the Billboard Top 40 hit, I Love You, and Alone in This World, respectfully.  This was the last album by Faith Evans to be recorded with Bad Boy Records before her split in 2003. Herbert Brown, better known by his stage name McGruff (also known as Herb McGruff) is an American Hip hop recording artist from Harlem, New York City, New York.  Brown started rapping in his early teens.  He embarked on his music career in the hip hop group Bronx Most Wanted, alongside rappers Jay Q and Tee U.B. Brown later became a member of the hip hop collective Children of the Corn.  As a member of Children of the Corn, Brown worked alongside Big L, Cam'ron, Bloodshed and Mase, all of whom would go on to have successful careers in the music industry.  After the group disbanded without releasing any material, Brown made his first appearance on Big L's debut album, "Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous" (1995), on the tracks "8 Iz Enuff" and "Dangerzone".  Eventually, Brown signed a deal with popular hip hop label, Uptown Records and began recording his debut album, "Destined to Be".  In early 1998, the album's lead single "Before We Start" became a minor hit, charting on several "Billboard" charts.  In the Summer of 1998, "Destined to Be" was released but failed to sell many copies, only peaking at 169 on the "Billboard" 200, and Brown was released from his contract.  Brown would make appearances with Heavy D on his album, "Waterbed Hev" and the "Woo" soundtrack.  In 2009, Brown appeared on Mase's mixtape "I Do the Impossible".  In 2010, he was featured heavily on The Diplomats mixtape, "The D.I.P. Agenda."  In 2014, DJ Kay Slay, enlisted Brown, along with Raekwon, Fat Joe, Ghostface Killah, Sheek Louch, N.O.R.E., Lil' Fame, Prodigy and Rell, for a song titled "90s Flow". Cassie is the self-titled debut album by American singer Cassie, released on August 8, 2006, by NextSelection, Bad Boy Records, and Atlantic Records.  Cassie was discovered by record producer Ryan Leslie, who helped her record demo tapes.  After Cassie was signed by Diddy, the founder of Bad Boy Records, she continued to work with Leslie who produced the entire album.  Musically, "Cassie" is mainly a R&B, hip hop and pop album with urban, pop rock and contemporary R&B styles, containing "looming synthesizer patterns" and "ice-cream-truck melod[ies] to give it a slightly twisted and threatening edge," as well as "flippant playfulness." We Invented the Remix is a remix album by P. Diddy with the Bad Boy Family, released on May 14, 2002.  It features remixes of hit singles by artists from Diddy's Bad Boy Records record label.  The album reached the top of the U.S. "Billboard" 200 albums chart for a week and was later certified Platinum for shipments of over 1,000,000 copies.  The album also reached number 17 on the UK Albums Chart.  The album featured the hit singles "I Need a Girl (Part 1)", which reached number 2 in the U.S., and "I Need a Girl (Part 2)", which reached number 4, a rare occurrence of both parts of the same song both becoming big hits.  This was the last album Bad Boy would release under the Arista Records label. Mason Durell Betha (born July 17, 1977), better known by stage name Mase (formerly Murda Ma$e and stylized as Ma$e or MA$E), is an American rapper, songwriter, pastor, businessperson, and writer.  He is best known for being signed to Sean "Diddy" Combs's label Bad Boy Records. Carlos Coleman (born March 23, 1982) is an American rapper, singer, and record producer, better known by his stage name Los or King Los.  Los has released various mixtapes during his career including "The Crown Ain't Safe" and "Becoming King" to critical acclaim.  He originally signed to Bad Boy Records during the 2005 in conjunction with his Bloc Incorporated record deal.  After his deal fell through when Bloc folded, he returned to releasing music independently.  Los signed to Diddy's Bad Boy Records again in February 2012, which is now distributed by Interscope Records.  However, on March 19, 2014, he would announce that he was again leaving Bad Boy and Interscope.  He is currently signed to After Platinum, 88 Classic and RCA. Shyne is the self-titled debut album by rapper Shyne.  It was released by Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' Bad Boy Records on September 26, 2000.  Shyne had been hyped prior to the album's release as similar in style and delivery to the deceased Notorious B.I.G..  Shyne had also drawn unfavorable media attention for being convicted in June 2000 for his involvement in a nightclub shooting.  Shyne was incarcerated at the time of this album's release.  The album peaked #5 on the Billboard Top 200.  It sold very well, eventually achieving Gold status.  It contained fewer guest artists than most Bad Boy releases.  The singles from the album, "Bad Boyz," "Bonnie & Shyne" (which both feature Barrington Levy), and "That's Gangsta," were only moderate hits. Bad Boy 20th Anniversary Box Set Edition is a box set compilation of songs by the American record label Bad Boy Records released on August 12, 2016, and distributed by Rhino in both digital and physical formats.  The collection, curated by Bad Boy's President Harve Pierre, honors the legacy of Sean "Diddy" Combs aka Puff Daddy and his record label celebrating over two decades in hip-hop and R&B. Let's Talk About It is the second album by R&B singer, Carl Thomas, released on March 23, 2004.  Originally scheduled for a late 2003 release, the album was delayed several months due to Bad Boy Records entering into a new distribution deal with Universal Records.  "Let's Talk About It" was not a commercial success due to a couple factors.  The first of which was Thomas' extended time between albums.  Also, the promotion of the album was cut short due to Thomas' brother being gunned down several months after the album's release.  Despite three singles being released- "She Is", "Make It Alright" and "My First Love"- the album was met with a lukewarm reception.  It was one of many albums released on Bad Boy Records that underperformed under the Universal distribution deal.  As a result, Carl Thomas left the label in 2005, while Bad Boy left Universal for a distribution deal with Atlantic Records in the same year.
