九○年代末期丹妮絲在某次派對與吹牛老爹(Diddy)結下「音」緣,先擔任美滋(Mase)專輯幕後和聲,接著獻聲吹牛老爹作品及其旗下發行合輯,期間亦創作不輟。曾於多張mixtape露面的她,2006年經萊恩雷斯理(Ryan Lesile)操刀的〈I Love You〉終於問世,作為兩年後發行首張作品《In and Out of Love》的頭號主打。38. Aaliyah - "We Need a Resolution" [Blackground, 2001]

47. Ideal - "Whatever" [Virgin, 2000]
Ideal是親、表兄弟及高中好友組成的四人團,1999年挟著首波單曲〈Get Gone〉不錯的反應順勢推出同名專輯。有請茉莉兒(Lil' Mo)助陣的第三主打〈Whatever〉在2000年取得百大單曲第47位。2004年換唱片公司、籌備第二張作品,但無下文,貌似已解散。48. Koffee Brown - "After Party" [Arista, 2000]
由接班人合唱團(Next)前團員RL、天生頑皮合唱團(Naughty by Nature)之DJ Kay Gee發掘的考菲布朗,為2000年後R&B樂界不太常見的一男一女組合,發表同名作品後即消聲匿跡,留下最令人傳為佳唱的〈After Party〉。49. Electrik Red - "So Good" [Def Jam, 2009]
多半與夢想先生(The-Dream)及製作人Tricky Stewart共事的團體「Electrik Red」,2008年成為環球唱片Radio Killa子公司藝人,隔年推出的《How to Be a Lady: Volume 1》入選AllMusic該年度最佳R&B專輯之一,英國《衛報》(The Guardian)編輯Alex Macpherson更給予五顆星的滿分評價。50. Mint Condition - "Is This Pain Our Pleasure" [Elektra, 2000]
