The 24-year wait is officially over. B2K — Omarion, J-Boog, Raz-B and Lil Fizz — released ECLIPSE today, Friday, November 6, 2026, and for millennials who grew up with “Uh Huh,” “Bump, Bump, Bump” and “Girlfriend” on repeat, this one hits different. It’s not a reunion tease or a one-off single. It’s a full album — their first studio album since Pandemonium! in December 2002 — and it’s finally in our ears.

ECLIPSE, released through BPC Music Group, is a 12-song set that keeps the focus squarely on the original four. Bow Wow is the only guest feature on the album, a fitting nod to the era when B2K and Bow Wow ruled TRL, radio and every school-dance playlist. After almost 24 years away from making an album together, the group didn’t need a crowded guest list to make their return feel complete — they just needed to sound like B2K again.

The road to ECLIPSE was paved by two singles that already had fans in their feelings. “Mileage,” released July 17, climbed into the Top 25 at radio and was submitted for GRAMMY consideration, while “Lil Freak,” released Oct. 14, turned up the heat ahead of album day. We covered “Lil Freak” when it dropped — read our Oct. 15 post on the new single — and even then, it felt like the start of something bigger. Today proves it was.

The original four promoted the album with a TODAY Show performance this week, on Nov. 5, performing new single “I Love You” alongside the classic “Girlfriend” — a perfect bridge between who B2K were and who they are now. Watching Omarion, J-Boog, Raz-B and Lil Fizz share that stage again, harmonies intact and chemistry undeniable, was the kind of full-circle moment longtime fans have been waiting nearly a quarter-century to see.

The comeback didn’t come out of nowhere. It was built on their sold-out Boys 4 Life arena tour, which hit 28 cities from February to April 2026, and a surprise reunion moment at the 2025 BET Awards that sent the internet — and every millennial group chat — into overdrive. As StupidDope notes, the group has completed a 24-year comeback with ECLIPSE, and That Grape Juice has the full album ready to stream. Those moments reminded everyone that the demand never really went away. ECLIPSE is the payoff: new music, made together, for the fans who never stopped asking for it.

So, Toledo: press play today. Put ECLIPSE on, turn it up, and let yourself time-travel for a minute — back to the posters on the wall, the burned CDs and the choreography you still somehow remember. Then come back to 2026, because B2K aren’t just a memory anymore. They’re back, they’re together, and after almost 24 years, they’ve finally given us a new album to love.
