The film New Jack City was the impetus for this mix, as Christopher Williams’ Dreamin’ was requested. Based on this, Poison and Don’t Be Cruel, arguably two of the most popular New Jack Swing cuts, had to be included. While Al B. Sure and the trio Guy were well known during this era, there were people like Timmy Gatling who were behind the boards for quite a few artists who didn’t receive much airplay.
I went back and reached into the crates for Today (remember House Party?) , Another Bad Creation and Samuelle, made sure the ladies were represented by Jade, En Vogue, and The Good Girls, and slowed it down at the end with Troop and Johnny Gill who were just as good with slowing down the tempo as they were for speeding it up.
Many props to Bernie and CoachMVP for starting it up.
Take it light.
