I would not be surprised if there's someone lurking here from Numero Group picking up on your enthusiasm for this one!

Oh wow...just listening to Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth, not heard for years, forgot about this band!!! Classic and sampled by Rakim, Jill Scott and the rest...
― MrEnergizer, Wednesday, 10 February 2021 00:41 (three years ago) link
Oh man '24-Carat Black theme' ..I love when I find music I'd forgotten about and still get the same joy from it! It was 80s Hip hop that introduced me to those samples and got me crate diggin...keep the music alive

Her big tune was Forever.. First time I heard it was by Broadway and I always thought the intro was saying Animal (Wayne - one of BW's DJ's nickname). I thought it was a special (dubplate).

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread over the years. I know nothing about this stuff, but whenever I see it revived, I end up playing songs posted in here for an hour or more every single time. Solid jams all around, cheers.

^ Did this ever get posted here? Probably not, because it really isn't very street at all tbh, but it is an absolute jam. Classic late 80s wine bar vibe, should be on a million comps but i've never even been able to find a decent rip of it. what a song though

This is one of my best finds, but the video here seems pitched down a little compared to my 12"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWJZ87gzdVU
― .xlsm (P. Flick), Monday, 14 March 2022 20:17 (two years ago) link
Or maybe this more boogie? Too early?
― .xlsm (P. Flick), Monday, 14 March 2022 20:18 (two years ago) link
nice find, sounds a bit like 52nd Street
― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Monday, 14 March 2022 21:18 (two years ago) link
tbh it was the similarity with 52nd st that led me to post that one, but playing much of the other videos here it's a little out of sync
Oddly, the b side is Lovers Rock and it seems from discogs that their earlier single is too
― .xlsm (P. Flick), Monday, 14 March 2022 21:58 (two years ago) link
yeah was looking at their discogs, they do seem to be coming from a lovers/reggae background. producer was mark lusardi (linda's brother!) who worked on loads of reggae things and was also in jah wobble's band for a while. you can actually hear kind of a reggae bassline in the tune you posted, wonder if they tried it out as a straight reggae number first and then thought fuck it, lets get the synths in!
― o shit the sheriff (NickB), Monday, 14 March 2022 22:18 (two years ago) link
If I ever start a cult our mission statement will be "fuck it, let's get the synths in"
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 15 March 2022 09:57 (two years ago) link
not exactly sure where to put this Mr. Ho track I’ve been obsessed with recently. The beat seems really streetsoul-y to me and it’s got reggae vocal samples so idkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg2repuHhOo
― brimstead, Wednesday, 3 August 2022 00:07 (one year ago) link
it's such a good track. the beat is of course the soul ii soul beat aka the ashley's roachclip break.

cheers for the heels and souls link — lot of other great stuff to look into there!
nothing to add, just another quick thank you for this thread. feel like i owe you guys money or something for all the jams. also lol "simple solution" is tagged with artist name J DILLA on spotify. even with my novice experience, that makes my inner librarian feel physical pain.
