Wow you got me on this one, never heard before in my life. Interesting the producer of the track is Joe "The Butcher" Nicolo. He was a Philly guy and mix engineer for many of the hip hop artists out of Philly, including my man Schoolly D. I did not know he was a co-founder of Ruffhouse Records.
A much needed Black Music thread.

The rapper is Everlast. Before this he dropped a solo LP 'Forever Everlasting' in 1990. Included on that LP was Ice T and Donald D, part of the Rhyme Syndicate. I still have that on vinyl, I thought it was overlooked.
I preferred this one from Kish
I Rhyme the World in Eighty Days
It had a hip house vibe to it.
I think he was half Caucasian half Asian so close enough. I didn't know what happened to him after so just looked up his bio. He's a prolific voice actor.
1990's Canadian hip hop was a treasure trove. Maestro Fresh Wes paved the way. It helped that 2/3 of Main Source were Canadian as well.
I'm a pretty big Xzibit fan. A somewhat overlooked west coast talent. This one is my favorite. Produced by Diamond D.
"Birds Eye View"
From the west side of T.O. this was one of my favorite Canadian hip hop acts of the 90's. Some pretty sick production
"Hard Copy" by Ghetto Concept
Mellow Man Ace scored a pretty big hit with "Mentirosa". Here he is on the hip house tip. I only found out about this song about a decade ago.
"Welcome To My Groove" (1992). Produced by Steve "Silk" Hurley
The sample is of course MFSB's "K-Jee", one of the greatest instrumentals of the Philly Soul era.

i need a dose of Ronnie...............i think this was recorded before the break out hits Be My Baby and Baby I Love You.....X Montrealer correct me if im wrong
No correction required. I wonder if it was pre-Spector? At least pre-"Wall Of Sound"...
This is a Luther Vandross cover of "Superstar" which I always thought was a Carpenters original but they too covered it. The original song was by Delaney & Bonnie (1969). I do love how Luther made it his own.
"Superstar/Until You Come Back to Me"
Its long but so worth the listen.
