Originally known as Bobby Valentino, R&B singer Bobby V found success in the mid-2000s thanks to his radio-friendly singles and multiple collaborations with rappers.

• In 1996, he joined the R&B quartet Mista. Their self-titled debut album, featuring the Top 20 R&B hit “Blackberry Molasses,” arrived that same year.

• His 2007 sophomore album, Special Occasion, also topped the US R&B albums chart and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
• In 2008, he left Disturbing tha Peace and changed his name to Bobby V following a lawsuit from British performer Bobby Valentino. His next album, 2009’s The Rebirth, became his third straight No. 1 R&B album.
