“Get Gone” peaked at number 13 the Hot 100 and finds the group fed up with their significant other and letting their significant other know in no uncertain terms they are done with the relationship with lines such as ” I think you better leave, me alone, get your bags, and get the hell on.” 7. Get Gone was Cox’s first hit released in 1999, produced alongside Johnta Austin and Noontime’s Kevin Hicks for the Houston based quartets lone solo album. Lyrically, this song is a player-haters anthem to the umpteenth degree and is in some ways a predecessor to Drake’s “Marvins Room.” However, Jagged Edge, with Cox’s help, made hating on your ex’s new man and telling her how he doesn’t compare to you feel acceptable. “He Can’t Love U” helped propel Cox from a Noontime Records intern to one of Jermaine Dupri’s go-to guys. This was one of Cox’s first collaborations with the Atlanta quartet in 1999 on Jagged’s sophomore album J.E. Though the song found little chart success, the combination of strong lyrics and highly emotive vocal performances from the Making the Band 4 products make this song one of Cox’s strongest compositions. Released as the second single from Day26’s criminally underrated self-titled debut album, Cox along with Adonis Shropshire provided a piano-laden backdrop for the quintet content to plead for one last chance to make things right with that special someone.

With nine Grammy wins, 35 million singles sold and a Guinness World Record for having a song on the Hot 100 chart for five years straight, it is necessary to place Cox in the conversation of greatest R&B producers of all time with the likes of Smokey Robinson, Babyface, Gamble & Huff, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. In his two decades in the music business, he’s written and produced for a who’s who of R&B royalty such as Boyz II Men, Usher, Beyoncé, Destiny’s Child, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Mariah Carey, Jagged Edge, Mary J. I’m not sure about you, but each time I heard a voice say “Another B.Cox joint” on a track, I knew my ears were about to be blessed with a banger written and produced by none other than Bryan-Michael Cox.
