OC Far From Yours Feat Yvette Michele (Payday) 1997

Man what a tune. Had to just rewind this now whilst listening. From 1997 and featuring Yvette Michelle. This guy has to be up there with the best rap lyricists. He's in the same school as Rakim and Nas for me. His first two albums are essential purchasing. There's nothing I don't like about this 12" I really want to do a full posting of rap tunes but this is supposed to be soul...damn..

Ericka Yancey So Good (RCA) 1997

This was a wicked promo 12" that came out in 1997. Think her album got scrapped or something....

Myron We Can Get Down (Island) 1997

Classic bassline driven soul from Myron!

Erykah Badu Otherside Of The Game (Universal) 1997

Beautiful soul music.

Davina Come Over To My Place (Loud) 1997

A 12" soul bomb from Davina.

Allure Head Over Heals (Sony) 1997

Big tune back then featuring Nas.

Erykah Badu Appletree (Universal) 1997

Taken from Baduizm, the album of 1997!!

Adriana Evans Love Is All Around (Drum 'n' Bass Mix) (Loud) 1997

Stripped down remix of Adriana Evan's cool track from her great album of this year.

Krs One Step Into A World (Rapture's Delight) (Jive) 1997

KRS ONE with a wicked tune here, one of his best in fact. He seems to have been talking about how he's better than everyone else for years and got away with it.. Uses the Mowhaws 'Champ' sample and also Blondie's 'Rapture' to produce a real bomb. Essential.



Mohawks The Champ



Blondie Rapture

Bounty Killer Babylon (White Label Remix) 1997

Another badass remix....This is Bounty Killer over the same riff that the Fugees used for Ready Or Not.

Zhane Crush (Motown) 1997 Remix Lp Version Dub Mix

Wow. This is just phenomenal. Breathtaking. A lesson in beautiful songwriting and production. It really doesn't get any better. A record everyone should own, no excuses.. Come back Zhane, things just aren't the same. Really, come back. Please come back....

Assorted Phlavors Make Up Your Mind (Epic) 1997

Ok it's not groundbreaking..it uses Sylvia Striplin's 'You Can't Turn Me Away' which usually makes most things work..Good tune from a good album.
