This was a FAVE of mine from Janet Jackson’s ‘Damita Jo’ era. ‘Strawberry Bounce’ wasn’t a released single, but she DID perform it on ‘SNL’ in 2004! Let’s take it back ….
We lost a DOPE one….Melvin Barclay better known as rapper/producer Magoo just passed away at 50! He was half of the dynamic duo of Timbaland & Magoo, and they had the 90’s on lock with joints like this…
How did we let this little GEM from Kiana Lede slide by us. ‘Mad At Me’ interpolates Outkast’s MONSTER hit, ‘So Fresh, So Clean’, and Lede FLIPS IT in her SIGNATURE style NO DOUBT!
This is a LITTLE GEM I just found out about over the WEEKEND! This Fergie/Nicki Minaj collaboration should have been a HUGE HIT! The SAMPLE alone with this DOPE verse from Nicki!
On this DAY 28 years ago, Monica released her DEBUT album, ‘Miss Thang’!
It was released by Rowdy Records and distributed through the Arista label on July 18, 1995, in the United States. Recorded throughout her early teenage years, the album was conceived under the guidance of Rowdy head Dallas Austin who would emerge as a tutor and father figure to Monica and serve as Miss Thang‘s sole executive producer. Austin recruited protégés from his DARP production camp such as Tim & Bob, Arnold Hennings, and Colin Wolfe as well as Daryl Simmons, and Soulshock & Karlin to work on the album. It incorporates a wide range of contemporary genres such as soul, pop, hip hop and blues.
