    “Hit ‘Em Up Style (Oops!)” by Blu Cantrell

    In the Summer of 2001, Blu Cantrell looked poised to become the next household name in mainstream R&B. Her debut single “Hit ‘Em Up Style (Oops!)” was topping charts and earning her Grammy nominations, and industry titans such as L.A. Reid and Dallas Austin were singing her praises and putting their talents to work to further her career. When she released her sophomore album in 2003, she achieved some international success, but things seemed to stall out back in the States. Within a year or so, Blu’s music career seemed to have abruptly ended, fueling speculation of all sorts. Was her departure from the limelight just another age old story of bad timing and record label shenanigans, or was something MUCH more scandalous at play? This week, we explore Blu Cantrell’s life and career to try to find out if she was one of SOMEBODY’S 99 problems.  One Hit Thunder is brought to you by DistroKid, the ultimate partner for taking your music to the next level.
