About Public Announcement
The onetime backing group for R. Kelly, Chicago's Public Announcement made their solo debut in 1998 with All Work, No Play, scoring a Top Ten hit with the single "Body Bumpin' Yippie-Yi-Yo." Kelly moved on to contemporary R&B stardom while the group remained in semi-retirement until late 2000 when they released their sophomore album, Don't Hold Back. Their third album, When the Smoke Clears, appeared in 2005 on the Boss Entertainment label. ~ Jason Ankeny
