Atlanta's silkiest export and Bad Boy Records' R&B flagship through the late 90s — Q, Mike, Slim and Daron rolling four-part harmonies thick enough to refurbish a Camaro. 'Cupid' was a kind of slow-jam manifesto, 'Peaches & Cream' (Mario Winans on the boards) is a top-shelf bedroom record, and Q's hook on Biggie's 'Only You' tied them permanently to the East Coast canon. Their post-Bad-Boy Def Soul years got prettier and weirder — 'Hot & Wet,' 'Pleasure & Pain' — and the 2017 reunion proved the chemistry never went anywhere. If quiet-storm radio has a Hall of Fame, the photo on the wall is them, in white linen, in 1998.
