About Mary J. Blige
Mary J. Blige developed her musical career in New York and recorded for Uptown Records. Her 1992 debut, What's the 411?, brought melodic R&B singing together with hip-hop production. My Life followed in 1994, while Share My World and Mary expanded the catalog later in the decade. No More Drama and The Breakthrough carried that combination of strong rhythms and expressive vocals into the 2000s. Her work also includes acting and soundtrack performances, including the recording of Not Gon' Cry for Waiting to Exhale.
