Legendary R&B group Blackstreet has signed a new deal with XOXO Entertainment, the label and management company owned by producer Adam H. Hurstfield.
The quartet (Chauncey “Black” Hannibal, Levi Little, Mark Middleton and Eric Williams) joins a roster that includes pop&b band 98 Degrees.
“We are beyond excited to partner with Blackstreet. As some of the greatest architects of that legendary ’90s R&B sound, their music shaped the soundtrack of our lives, defined an era, and left an unmistakable imprint on global culture,” says Hurstfield, who is also the president of the company.
“Around the world, fans have been yearning for that authentic feeling again, and at XOXO Entertainment, we are devoted to bringing it back, side by side with the very legends who created it. We are honored to help amplify Blackstreet’s iconic legacy into this exciting new chapter.”
In a joint statement, the group shares, “BLACKSTREET has always stood for timeless music, true artistry, excellence, and evolution. Partnering with XOXO Entertainment feels like the perfect alignment, where vision, passion, and creativity meet. As a group, we’re excited and honored to join forces with a team that shares our energy and commitment to taking BLACKSTREET into a new era. This partnership is powerful, and together we’re ready to create moments the world will remember. This next chapter will be iconic.”
According to a press release, Blackstreet’s next chapter will include new music and a world tour in 2026. The group’s last album, Level II, was released in 2003 via DreamWorks Records. Preceded by the lead single, “Deep,” the album debuted at No. 14 on the Billboard 200.
As Blackstreet gears up for a new era, the group’s sophomore album, Another Level, turns 30 in 2026. The album included vocals from then-new members Williams and Middleton, and featured their signature hits “No Diggity” and “Don’t Leave Me.”
Another Level debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and remains their highest-charting album to date.
