More Musiq Promos here. This one is cool, it's just an sampler for the album "Soulstar", BUT the gems here are the remixes to Dontchange & Halfcrazy, which I haven't ever seen on a CD Single by themselves before. Doesn't mean they're not out there somewhere but these remixes are pretty hot and they are right here.

This That HOT PROMO SHIT Right Here! Mya Whoa Allstar Remix with Acappella. This is the one that sounds like Black Rob's "Whoa". The rapper on here, John Doe didn't impress me much but the track is HOT and Mya is too, lol. Oh yeah I had to take 2 scans of the CD because I just couldn't get my scanner to pick up all the info in one scan. If you can't see it, the difference is on the right side of the CD where the A&M Records logo is.

The beats are phat and all the rappers put it in on this one. I like Fat Joe's Verse first, it just brings a lot more energy than how Busta Rhymes starts his verse. From The "Love don't Cost A Thing" Soundtrack.

I hated this song when it came out and I still don't like it. I think the track is horrible but for some reason a lot of people swear up and down this song is the truth, but I just dan't agree. I like the original "Excuse Me Miss" the best. Produced By The Neptunes. From The "Bad Boys II" Soundtrack.

Release Notes
------------------

I learned about In Essence when I was in Canada visiting. I was listening to the local radio station there and they were playing the song I.E., which is actually my favorite song on the album. I liked the song so much that when the album was released, the next time I went to Canada, I bought it. I also was able to acquire the Remix for I.E. as well from one of my friends who was street teaming for the group at that time.

03 - Lil' Kim - The Jump Off - (Remix Instrumental) - (4:25)


Release Notes
------------------

And this was the answer to my question about Mr. Cheeks doing a verse and then adding Mobb Deep to the mix was excellent. Ok so track number 3 on this CD Single is a total misprint. Even though is says that track 3 is the acappella, it is NOT on this CD, it's just the Instrumental. I figured so because most singles wouldn't be released with just the main versions and then the acappella alone. It would usually have the Instrumental too, along with everything else. Although it did remind of this Mobb Deep CD Single I posted a long time ago which did have the main versions with the Acappela, but no instrumental and you can see it HERE!

Release Notes
------------------

Another HOT Promo produced by Timbaland. This track is bananas. When I first got this and heard it, I was kinda disappointed that Mr. Cheeks didn't do a verse and was only the hype man, but it was too good of a song to care much.

A Super HOT Promo from Glenn Lewis. I just love the groove of this one.

This was issued in a jewel case with a sticker on the front, but mine broke so I only have the original CD for this one. With Acappella.
