What do you get when The Funky-man, The Wildcowboy, The Mad Professor and Pete Rock's original ghost-writer (thats right folks, Grand Puba wrote most of Mt. Vernon's finests rhymes back in the early days) team up over a classic Lord Finesse back-drop? A bonafide classic, thats what!
Originally found as a secret track on 1995's The Awakening, it would later see a release as the b-side of the Gameplan 12" in 1996.
A new millenium re-issue of The Awakening would see the track feature prominently amongst a veritable treasure trove of mid-nineties favourites. Guests on the album include amonst others KRS-ONE, O.C., Kid-Capri, Akinyele and Diamond D.
A classic song and an even greater video that does much too enhance the initial impact of the song (in my opinion). Check the cameo's from KRS, Diamond and a pre-jiggy Fat Joe hitten the double bass.
Lord Finesse-Actual Facts ft. Sadat X, Large Pro and Grand Puba.
