The 90’s was so magical!!

This was so pure mid 90's hip-hop, the bass, the horns. The dreamy semi-sepia tone of the music video. Everything is just so perfect. A great time capsule of a song and a video. I wonder if Dewayne Wiggins produced this since he's in the video 🤔. I also dig the New York sound of the song even though she's from the bay area.

The best hip hop era, hands down! The vibe, the sound, the beats, the clothes, NY movies, so much cool things... That era when u could just stay on the sidewalk, doing nothing, or walking around to some store, and u still could look cool af with all dat swagg!

I wish she'd come back. She literally vanished 100% after this album and has never been heard from again. I wish we could at least know shes doing okay.

Another great 90s neo-soul/hip hop jam to add to my film's script soundtrack. BTW I can't believe I haven't seen "Sugar Hill" yet. I've seen just about all of the good and underrated hood films of the late 80s and early to late 90s except this one.
