Three year Soul Train and Grammy winning artists Boyz II Men will highlight the Budweiser Superfest Show at the Georgia Dome on Saturday, June 24. The popular rhythm and blues singing group is expected to turn out the dome with their leading single "I'll Make Love to You" that has now tied with Whitney Houston in sales and on the R&B charts.

With a serious relationship, the four young singers (ranging in age from 21 to 24) candidly talked about their careers and stardom recently, sharing some intimate moments about their music, the industry, and their lives. The group goes back to 1988 when they were all in high school in Philadelphia, with fond memories that take them back to when they just enjoyed creating sound and harmony where it seemed so simple and more like a hobby than work.

"It was more a hobby at first and now it's more like a job; but we now try to mix the two," said lead spokesman Shawn, who brought the name to the group. "Now that we are excelling, we keep trying to do better and better."

And doing it better and better is what Boyz II Men are all about...maturing nicely with their fame and glory and enjoying their work with Motown Records and giving something back to the community.

"We pray a lot and we enjoy what we do," added Nate, who revealed that the group was also collaborating with some rap groups for a little division and a new twist. However, they were quick to add that they have no intentions to do gangster rap, and one new song "Vibin'" has a lot of vocal and musical arrangements, unlike most rap.

But it is the romance and harmony that makes Boyz II Men unique and stand out. The name means longevity and growth, describes Shawn, who says they are "forever striving and changing" like manhood. Somehow, there is always one more step before you are really there," he adds.
