Hootie Mack is the second studio album released by R&B group, Bell Biv DeVoe. It was released on June 22, 1993 through MCA Records and featured production from the group itself and some of R&B's top producers such as Chris Stokes, L.A. Reid and Babyface. As the follow-up to the group's 4x multi-platinum debut album, Poison, expectations were high. Although Hootie Mack wasn't as successful as Poison, the album peaked at 19 on the Billboard 200 and 6 on the Top R&B Albums. Two singles made it to the charts: "Above the Rim" and "Something in Your Eyes", the latter making it to #38 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was certified gold on August 25, 1993.
