Think the best music ever made came out of the 90s and 2000s? You’re not wrong! From Aaliyah to Usher, TLC to Destiny’s Child, Boyz II Men to Mary J.

If you grew up slow dancing to “Nice & Slow” or knew every word to “No Scrubs,” this night is literally made for you. Age ain’t nothing but a number (shoutout Aaliyah 😏) the OGs still got the moves!
