This New Jersey-based hip-hop act enjoyed huge crossover success in the early 1990s.
The early 1990s was an exciting time of experimentation for hip-hop artists, and the perfect zeitgeist for an act like Jersey City’s P.M. Dawn (brothers Prince Be and J.C.), who wove dreamy garlands of sound into an ethereal, Christian-themed style all their own, centered on philosophical lyrics and trippy, outside-the-box samples. Their crossover success came with the single “Set Adrift On Memory Bliss,” which went to number one on the U.S. pop charts in ‘91, and established them as a stars. Subsequent albums were lauded critically and did well commercially, but, as they quietly continued through the new millennium, they yielded the spotlight to the next generation of hip-hop artists. J.C. left for a solo career in '05, but a refurbished P.M. Dawn toured in '06, and still have a loyal fanbase.
