If you haven’t yet checked it out, the first single from Jodeci in more than 18 years is a pretty powerful comment on domestic violence.

Atlanta rapper B.o.B. is heavily featured on “Nobody Wins,” which Jodeci first played a snippet of at the Soul Train Awards in November as part of a medley of their past hits. That appearance marked the first time the group shared a stage since 2006.

The quartet – K-Ci, JoJo, DeVante Swing and Mr. Dalvin – plans to release their first new album since 1995’s “The Show, The After Party, The Hotel,” in the next couple of months. Fans will remember their ‘90s chart-toppers “Forever My Lady,” “Stay” and “Talk to Me.”

B.o.B., by the way, is currently in Australia touring with Lupe Fiasco and Nelly. Earlier this week he debuted his new project, “No Genre: The Label,” a 16-track mixtape featuring signees to his new label including JaqueBeatz, Jake Lambo and Scotty ATL.
