Boyz II Men is scheduled to release its Arista debut, Full Circle, on July 23.
Boyz member Shawn Stockman said the group is glad to link with Wright. "We feel that he is the best person for us at this time," Stockman said via statement. "His track record speaks for itself, and his accomplishments are unparalleled. We are happy to be a part of such an elite management team."
Wright added that he is equally excited about working with the group, which has sold more than 60,000,000 albums. "They are extremely talented individuals who have, in the 10 short years they've been singing together as a group, made pop and R&B music history," Wright said in a statement. "What they have already accomplished pales in comparison with what, I know, is yet to come."
Boyz II Men also includes members Nathan Morris, Michael McCary, and Wanya Morris.
