    "articleBody": "B2K are counting down to their first album in more than two decades one upload at a time. On Tuesday, October 20, the group posted an official visualizer for “Lil Freak” to its own YouTube channel, four days after the song reached streaming services and a little over two weeks before Eclipse, the reunited quartet’s new album, arrives on Friday, November 6, through BPC Music Group. The clip runs 2 minutes 48 seconds, was directed by Loyal of FNL Productions, and had drawn roughly 89,000 views by Wednesday. The song underneath is the group’s most club-facing release of this comeback: a thumping Atlanta bass groove with a hook (“Oh, she my freak”) that Omarion leads, while Lil Fizz closes the track with a rap verse, the role he held in the group’s early-2000s run. Who made it The credits posted with the visualizer list three producers, Lil Ronnie, Slikk Muzik and Kelby On The Track, and 17 songwriters. All four members appear under their legal names: Omari Grandberry (Omarion), De’mario Monte Thornton (Raz-B), Jarrell Damonte’ Houston (J-Boog) and Dreux Frederic (Lil Fizz). Seventeen writers on a song shorter than three minutes is a long list even by current R&B standards, and the group has not said how the song came together. The album has a separate studio thread. Footage released by the label at the end of September showed the four in sessions with Sean Garrett, the songwriter-producer, and in Atlanta at the Ladies Love R&B show. The lead single, “Mileage,” produced by Ethos, came out in July after the group previewed it during a Verzuz battle with Pretty Ricky earlier in the year, and the label said in late September that it had reached the top 25 at radio. “‘Mileage’ is just the beginning, and we’re excited to finally start sharing this next chapter with our fans,” the group said in a statement. The label behind the return BPC Music Group is a young company with an unusual parent. Gary Guidry and Troy Brown founded it in 2025; both men are partners in the Black Promoters Collective, an alliance of concert promoters. In plain terms, the people who book the arenas now also own the record, which lets a reunion tour and a new album sell each other. The same label put out Bow Wow’s 2025 single “Use Me” featuring Chris Brown, which the company says debuted at No. 1 on the R&B radio chart, and it describes B2K’s Boys 4 Life Tour as sold out. How long the wait has been B2K’s self-titled debut came out on March 12, 2002, and reached No. 2 on the US albums chart and No. 1 on the R&B/hip-hop albums chart. Count forward to November 6, 2026, and Eclipse lands 24 years, 7 months and 25 days later. The group split in 2004, after “Bump, Bump, Bump” had given them their only No. 1 on the Hot 100 and the members had filmed the dance movie You Got Served. 1998 to 1999: J-Boog, Raz-B and Lil Fizz are joined by Omarion on New Year’s Eve 1999, and the name B2K, short for Boys of the New Millennium, follows. 2001: Debut single “Uh Huh,” produced by Tricky Stewart. 2004: The split; Omarion goes solo. 2019: All four reunite for the Millennium Tour, 15 years on. July 31, 2024: After years of public friction, the four share a stage at a Jhené Aiko concert in Los Angeles. 2025 to 2026: The group re-forms, announces a 2026 reunion tour and signs with BPC. The visualizer, judged A visualizer is the low-cost option in a label’s video budget: a stylized clip that gets a song onto YouTube fast without the shoot and story of a full music video. “Mileage” got the full treatment, with an official music video on the group’s VEVO channel. “Lil Freak” getting a visualizer instead suggests the label sees it as a mood piece for the album rollout rather than the next radio push. That fits the record. It is short, frankly adult and built for a room rather than a ballad slot, and the first published review praised how catchy it is rather than any vocal showcase. For a group whose biggest hits were bright, choreographed pop-R&B, the bigger test is still the album itself, and whether the four voices can carry 2026 material as well as they carry nostalgia on tour. Eclipse, with “Mileage” and “Lil Freak” on it, is due Friday, November 6, from BPC Music Group.
