A masterpiece from the Queen of Hip Hop Soul.
In addition to the album version produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, this album also features house remixes by MARK! and Boris Dlugosz, making it a record where R&B and dance music intersect.
This single, released in 1997, is a symbol of the "Share My World" era, which solidified Mary J. Blige's status as a top artist. The fusion of Nas's tight rap and Jam & Lewis's sophisticated R&B sound made a striking impression on the scene at the time. What's particularly noteworthy about the UK version of this album, which reached number 15 in the UK charts, is the inclusion of a four-on-the-floor house remix that retains the original's mellow charm while updating it for European club floors.
