P.M. Dawn简介

P.M. Dawn were not among the first acts to mix singing and rapping, an approach that dates back to the old-school era likes of the Sequence and paid off later in the 1980s for the million-selling Whodini. The method was actually approaching prevalence when the sibling duo broke through the next decade with "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" (1991), a number one pop hit preceded by a spate of recordings that eventually provoked Billboard to retitle their R&B charts with the addition of "hip-hop." P.M. Dawn did distinguish themselves with a uniquely sensitive, introspective, and sometimes spiritual fusion of genres across a series of wide-scoped albums beginning with the gold-certified Of the Heart, Of the Soul and of the Cross (1991) and The Bliss Album...? (1993). Although the debilitating health issues of vocalist, lyricist, and producer Prince Be slowed P.M. Dawn's activity in the 2000s, echoes of their output could be heard throughout contemporary music, from brooding hits by superstars Kanye West and Drake to the dreamlike production qualities of almost any given act tagged cloud rap. Following Prince Be's death in 2016, P.M. Dawn has continued as a duo consisting of Doc G (Prince Be's cousin) and K-R.O.K.
