Some More classic 90's Freestyle here. In fact this was one of the last Freestyle songs to hit the charts. Artists like M:G, Jocelyn Enriquez & even Cynthia tried to keep it alive but musical styles and tastes were changing completely by 1997-'98. I wish Freestyle music made it's way back.

This track was the shit when it came out. Another R. Kelly production. Even though R. Kelly is not credited for being a featured artist on this track, he was clearly singing the bridge of this song, so I put his name as featured along with Jay-Z. This song was also on the "Space Jam" Soundtrack.
