B2K is back in full, and Eclipse is the proof.
The group released its third studio album on Friday, November 6, 2026.
The thirteen track project ends a gap of nearly 24 years between studio albums.
Pandemonium, the last B2K album, arrived in December 2002 with a No. 1 smash aboard.
Now the four voices that soundtracked a generation are singing together again.
Omarion, J Boog, Raz B and Lil Fizz all appear on Eclipse.
No replacements. No partial reunion. The original lineup stands complete.
1. A Comeback Built On Brotherhood
Raz B framed the moment in family terms.
“Eclipse is a celebration of our brotherhood, growth, and legacy,” Raz B said.
“25 years later, we’re still making history.”
“20+ years later, the stars have aligned,” Omarion said.
“It’s been so much fun bringing this project to life,” Omarion said.
“Get ready for the Eclipse. B2K 2026. No, we don’t miss.”
J Boog called the reunion a point of pride.
“Being able to reunite with my brothers and give our fans new music after 24 years is something I’m truly proud of,” J Boog said.
“We’re proud to share this next chapter with our fans,” Fizz said.
“Eclipse is a moment we’ve all been waiting for.”

2. B2K Eclipse Rollout Proved Demand Still Lives
Rollout began in July with lead single Mileage.
Mileage landed exactly 25 years after debut single Uh Huh first introduced the group.
The song debuted at No. 38 on the Billboard mainstream R&B and hip hop airplay chart.
That entry was the first B2K chart appearance in more than two decades.
It also stood as the seventh chart entry of their career.
Mileage then climbed to No. 23 on that Billboard tally.
The single reached the Top 15 at R&B and hip hop radio.
It also hit No. 1 on the Apple Music R&B Songs and R&B Videos charts.
Produced by Ethos, Mileage pairs stacked harmonies with a smooth lead vocal.
Its video shows the group trading synchronized moves between a warehouse and a rooftop.
Second single Lil Freak followed in October with a different pulse.
The Atlanta bass driven track puts Omarion on the hook.
Lil Fizz closes the song with a rap verse.
Producers Lil Ronnie, Slikk Muzik and Kelby on the Track built that groove.
3. A Grown Sound From Four Grown Men
All four members now stand in their early forties.
The new single Co Sign arrives alongside the album today.
The Underdogs produced and wrote Co Sign, and a lyric video accompanies it.
Sean Garrett, The Underdogs, Troy Taylor and Hitmaka all contribute production.
Blaq Tuxedo, Lil Ronnie, Kenneth “KP” Paige and Ethos also shape the sound.
Songwriting credits include B2K, The Underdogs, Eric Bellinger and Ant Clemons.
Mileage itself is about making room for love without letting old relationships block it.
That is grown man subject matter delivered in classic B2K language.

Garrett was filmed in studio sessions with the group during the album build.
Two days before release, the group took the reunion to national television.
B2K performed an exclusive medley on NBC TODAY on November 4.
The set paired new Eclipse music with the signature hits fans demanded.
4. Black Ownership Powers This Return
Eclipse carries a business story as powerful as its music story.
The album is the inaugural release from BPC Music Group.
Gary Guidry and Troy Brown founded the label in 2025.
Both men are partners in the Black Promoters Collective.
The label was founded on artist development, creative freedom and Black ownership.
That mission matters in an industry that often separated Black stars from ownership.
The same collective presented the Boys 4 Life Tour across the country.
That nationwide arena run brought B2K and Bow Wow back together onstage.
Promoters watched the reunion sell live before building the recorded return.
“We’ve worked with B2K on stage for years,” Gary Guidry said.
“Eclipse is the natural next step: new music from four artists who still have plenty to say.”
The label roster also includes Bow Wow, a longtime B2K contemporary.
His 2025 single Use Me, featuring Chris Brown, debuted at No. 1 on the R&B radio chart.

5. Why Eclipse Matters For Our Culture
B2K helped define a generation of R&B.
The debut album reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
That debut also topped the Billboard R&B and hip hop albums chart.
Pandemonium carried Bump, Bump, Bump to No. 1 on the Hot 100.
The group earned seven Billboard Hot 100 entries in total.
Two B2K albums earned platinum certification, the self titled debut and Pandemonium.
Three BET Awards sit on the group shelf.
Those honors include Best Group and two Viewer’s Choice Awards.
Add three Soul Train Music Awards and a Billboard Music Award.
A Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award for Favorite Music Group followed in 2003.
The members also starred in the 2004 dance film You Got Served.
Songs like Uh Huh, Gots Ta Be, Why I Love You and Girlfriend soundtracked coming of age years.
For Black fans, those records hold first dances, first loves and school hallway harmonies.
Eclipse now hands that same audience a soundtrack for grown life.
The children who memorized the choreography now raise children of their own.
A reunion on Black owned infrastructure makes the moment even sweeter.
Eclipse is streaming now on all major platforms.
Legacy acts returning strong is a theme this season, from B2K to Kirk Franklin and his first double album.
