Veteran R&B singer Keith Sweat seems to be growing tired of people using the words like irrelevant and "you're over in the game" to describe recording artists that may not be at the top of the charts or in heavy rotation. According to Sweat, "you are never over until there's no breath in your body."
While promoting his latest album, "Ridin' Solo,' which is in stores now, Sweat discussed what he calls a resurgence -- not just for his career but for others, like Dru Hill.
"We have our favorite acts like SWV, New Edition we all grew up listening to them and they have a wide fan base, [but] those veteran groups are not in radio demographics. So you don't hear about them as much and then they end up falling in to adult contemporary, which has the 18-34 mainstream missing out because, radio is so concerned about whatever song is hot now and they feel that these artist are not relevant," Sweat tells The Boom Box.
With both a radio show and television series, areas he uses to catch up with artists like SWV and Dru Hill, Sweat says "People may say you're over in the game...but you are never over until there's no breath in your body.
