Ever Find yourself Bumping to a Jam or Catch A Classic On The Radio and told your self ” I Haven’t Heard This in a While ” Well you haven’t.
Here is a List of Songs that first Premiered 20 Years Ago , Sheesh.
Some tracks contain explicit lyrics.
“You’re Makin’ Me High” Toni Braxton
Four-minutes-and-27-seconds of sensual ’90s R&B with a fitting amount of baby-baby- baby-baby-babys in the lyrics. And the “high” in the title did not refer to height. Comely singer Toni Braxton stands 5-foot-1.
C’mon N’ Ride It (The Train)” Quad City DJ’s
A perfect example of ’90s “Jock Jams” material. This top five hit from Florida combo Quad City DJ’s (the apostrophe after “DJ” is intentional) is based on “Theme from Together Brothers,” a 1974 disco-ish instrumental by Barry White’s The Love Unlimited Orchestra.
Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check” Busta Rhymes
Back when he attended Brooklyn, N.Y.’s George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School, Trevor Smith would battle-rap schoolmate Shawn Carter. A few years later, Smith would become known as Busta Rhymes, a name bestowed to him by Public Enemy’s Chuck D, and Carter would go by the stage appellation Jay Z.
“Pony” Ginuwine
Slow jam, anyone? Washington R&B moaner Ginuwine’s Timbaland-produced track “Pony” penetrated the Billboard Hot 100 top 10 and spent two weeks atop the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
“Killing Me Softly with His Song” Fugees
Many music fans know Fugees’ R&B/rap hybrid (which benefitted greatly from Lauryn Hill’s sultry-soulful vocals) was aped from Robert Flack’s chart-topping 1973 version (and goosed with A Tribe Called Quest’s “Bonita Applebum” sample), but fewer know folkie Lori Lieberman released the song, co-written with Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel, a year before that.
“What I Got” Sublime
Sublime singer Bradley Nowell never got to know how successful his reggae-rock band’s song “What I Got” would become. He died of a heroin overdose before the song was released on Sublime’s self-titled third LP.
“Elevators (Me & You)” OutKast
A metaphor for fame’s ups and downs, from now-iconic Atlanta rap duo OutKast.
“Virtual Insanity” Jamiroquai
Stevie Wonder should have sued comically hatted Jamiroquai singer Jay Kay for vocal identity theft on “Virtual Insanity.” History remembers the track more as a music video than an actual song.

Not everyone can be a winner. Detroit native and hip-hop sensation 42 Dugg is back with a fiery new single, Win Wit Us. The track, a precursor to his highly anticipated album 4eva Us, Neva Them, showcases Dugg’s signature style and lyrical prowess. In the brand new single, produced by FLEXONTHEBEAT, TyMaz, and Marshak, Dugg calls out those who try to ride his wave without putting in the work, cementing his stance in the rap game. The release is accompanied by an official music video directed by Counter Point, where Dugg and his crew dominate the streets and clubs of Detroit, visually reinforcing his message of loyalty and resilience. Dugg raps in the hard-hitting track:
All of sudden they wanna win wit us / But ain’t spin with us.
Dugg previously teased this new era of his music with a trailer featuring Hill Harper, further building anticipation among his fans. “Win Wit Us” follows a series of recent hits including Wock N Red, SpinDatBac, and Go Again. Earlier this year, Dugg made a triumphant return to the stage with a sold-out “Welcome Home” show at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena, featuring appearances by superstars like Meek Mill, Yo Gotti, Lil Baby, and more. Notably, the event saw Dugg unite Detroit’s rival hip-hop factions, Doughboyz Cashout and Team Eastside, in a historic move to end the city’s East-West beef. Fans can expect even more groundbreaking music from Dugg as he gears up for his upcoming album. Don’t miss out on the latest single available for streaming here and watch the music video below.
