Chris Brown was sixteen when this arrived, a kid out of Tappahannock, Virginia with a dancer's timing and a voice already built for radio. The debut leans on crisp, snapping production from Scott Storch, Jazze Pha and Cool & Dre, and it front-loads the hits: 'Run It!' with Juelz Santana, 'Yo (Excuse Me Miss)' and 'Gimme That'. Twenty years on it plays as a snapshot of mid-2000s R&B at its most confident, all clipped drums, layered harmonies and songs written to be danced to. Spread across two 140g records.
