Tyrese has long been booked and busy. And across a multitude of mediums too.

Long before he was racing up a storm in the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise, the star was racing to the top region of R&B charts with hits such as today’s From The Vault pick 2001’s – ‘I Like Them Girls.’

Serving as the launch single from the performer’s sophomore album ‘2000 Watts,’ the infectious jam was crafted by the producing collective The Underdogs. 

Having found favor with butter-smooth ballads such as ‘Sweet Lady’ on his debut effort, the singer’s second swing of the bat saw him looking to showcase his versatility. Not just sonically, but visually too.

Because beyond turning up the BPM with this club jam, Tyrese embraced choreography with the MTV-era dance break featured in the Dave Meyers-directed music video.

Peaking at #48 on the Billboard Hot 100, ‘I Like Them Girls’ found its most notable success in the R&B sphere. For, the release hit #15 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally and an even more impressive #7 on the Billboard Rhythmic count.

A bop!
