They released "Lose My Cool" featuring Redman in 1997. The song was included on their Release Some Tension album.

This isn't their most popular song on the list, and it struggled to get on the charts, but the collaboration is still a favorite among the R&B fanbase. Which SWV song is the best, in your opinion?
