Run With a Crew of Rappers

It's always tougher to be part of a group than it is to be an individual, particularly if one artist shines brighter than the rest. Omarion started off as the frontman for the boy band B2K a decade ago. Shortly after they split up, the crooner stepped out on his own, dropped three solo albums and ducked out of the spotlight again for a couple of years. In early 2012, he reappeared with rap's current infallible empire, Maybach Music Group. Despite immense cynicism, the dancer-singer has managed to fall into the hip-hop brand seamlessly, appearing on MMG's Self Made, Vol. 2 album, where his honeyed vocals seemed to fit perfectly alongside the boastful rhymes of Wale, Meek Mill and label head Rick Ross. As an added incentive, Maybach O will never have to worry about Rozay stealing his steps.
