B2K

B2K was an American R&B boy band formed in Los Angeles in the late 1990s. The group consisted of four members—Omarion, Raz-B, Lil' Fizz, and J-Boog—and was assembled and managed by Chris Stokes. They signed with Epic Records and became popular with teen audiences in the early 2000s, known for blending contemporary R&B with hip hop influences.

B2K released two studio albums during its active period: the self-titled B2K (2002) and Pandemonium! (2003). The albums helped establish the group as a prominent act in the early-2000s teen music scene, aided by music videos and television exposure. The group toured extensively and developed a strong following before disbanding in the mid-2000s.

After the split, Omarion pursued a successful solo career, releasing albums beginning with O (2004) and achieving continued chart success in the subsequent years. Lil' Fizz, Raz-B, and J-Boog pursued various music and entertainment projects with varying levels of prominence.

Controversy surrounding the group’s former manager, Chris Stokes, emerged publicly in the 2010s when Raz-B and others made allegations of abuse. Stokes denied the allegations, and the case drew renewed scrutiny of the group’s early career and management.

B2K is remembered as part of the early-2000s wave of teen-oriented R&B groups and for helping launch Omarion’s solo career. Their work remains referenced in discussions of that era’s urban-pop sound and music-video culture.
