      The music industry has so many talented artists within it's extra large realm, but none like Ms. Arika Kane. With melodic tracks like "Waiting", "Bcuz I love You", and  "4 The Lovers" her music has that nostalgic 90's good r&b feel to it.  If you guys didn't know her song "Bcuz I love You" peaked at number thirty-nine on the US Billboard Hot Adult R&B Airplay chart. 

       The sophomore single, “4 the Lovers“ charted at number seven on the Single Sales chart, number nineteen on the R&B Airplay chart and at number eighty on Billboard Hot 100. “Here With Me,“ the third single, also charted at number four on the Single Sales chart, number fourteen on the R&B Airplay and number sixty-seven on the Hot 100.
