Reel to Reel is the debut solo studio album by American rapper Grand Puba. It was released on October 20, 1992, through Elektra Records. Recording sessions took place at Power Play Studios in Long Island City, at Chung King House of Metal, and at The Hit Factory in New York.
Production was handled primarily by Grand Puba, along with Stimulated Dummies, Anthony Latief King, DJ Shabazz, Kid Capri, and The Brand New Heavies.
The album peaked at number 28 on the Billboard 200 and at number 14 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in the United States. The album was preceded by two charted singles: “360° (What Goes Around)” and “Check It Out”. Its lead single, “360° (What Goes Around)”, reached #68 on the Billboard Hot 100, #30 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and #1 on the Hot Rap Songs.
The second single, “Check It Out” featuring Mary J. Blige, made it to #85 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and #13 on the Hot Rap Songs. The album’s third single, “Ya Know How It Goes”, was released on June 17, 1993, and did not make it to any Billboard charts.
Mary J. Blige’s Hip-Hop collaborations may as well be a genre of their own. The Queen Of Hip-Hop Soul has worked on heralded albums such as Ghostface Killah’s Ironman, Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt, Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation…, and Nas’ Life Is Good, among many, many others.

Hip-Hop was at the core of the album, and Mary’s style, her vernacular, subject matter, and overall attitude represented the culture. Samples from Audio Two, Schoolly D, Biz Markie, and MC Lyte colored the way.
Although more than three million people would come to find “Real Love,” “Sweet Thing,” and “You Remind Me” to be potent, the album’s marketing cleverly went to the streets. Thereby, in the year 1992, Grand Puba Maxwell and Mary J. Blige performed the title track on “Yo! MTV Raps.”
“What’s The 411?” is not an official single from the 12-track LP. Although, by DJs, the Ohio Players-sampling song was a club favorite. While Uptown may have had different plans, the performance on Ed Lover & Dr. Dré’s show proves that it could have been.
In this rare performance, New Rochelle and Yonkers’ finest show their closeness. The pair that would work again had something special in their unmistakable vocal tones. Puba’s witty whimsicality, and Mary’s heartfelt projection, this moment “got all the information” that was needed.
