BOYZ II MEN(Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris & Shawn Stockman), the legendary R&B group were honored in Philadelphia on Saturday with a street renamed after them. The group who started their careers in Philadelphia returned there as a section of Christian to Carpenter streets on Broad street was renamed BOYZ II MEN BOULVARD, and they helped out in the unveiling.

The Boyz II Men Boulvard is near the Philadelphia High School for the Creative & Performing Arts where the trio schooled.

Beaming with pride at the unveiling, Stockman said:

“This is where it all started. It’s a real honor to know that the city that raised us, the city that practically brought us up musically and otherwise, was gracious and kind enough to give us this honor. I’m proud. It’s a cool thing”.

They also joined the students of the school in performing a special acapella rendition of the group’s “Motownphilly” as well as “Medley America”, a compilation of patriotic songs.
