This is a cool Hip Hop/NJS hybrid. Powerful and straight, just dope music & lyrics! Most of this single's versions have some hissings in between (don’t know if it's a mastering or pressing problem with my copy). But that doesn't affect listening pleasure. Enjoy my post for this weekend!

IIMAGE - IIMAGE (Cassette EP) (1996)

A I'll Never Leave You

B Can You Feel The Groove

https://www.mediafire.com/file/g3crqh18znphln0/IIMAGE_%2528Cassette_EP%2529.zip/file

This is an extremely groovy/catchy cassette only RnB/Swing EP of short-lived female trio IIMAGE. I know that you don’t like cassette rips too much (presumably because of the minor sound quality compared to other media). But as I already told you a few times each cassette has its soul and "finds a way to one's heart". Both the A side and B side track know how to delight the audience. Quite funny that this EP has been released on Gibb Records (label run by the Gibb brothers/Bee Gees). I proudly present this gem of my cassette collection and hope you'll enjoy it!

I was surprised that we hadn't any SWV post yet. Shame on us/me. So here's the first one for this blog. It's the thrilling Downtown single with a groovy Right Here (Human Nature) version on top. This female groups' Hip Hop flavoured RnB/Swing style kept uncomparable and unrivalled to this day. And the music still sounds fresh as hell. SWV 4 EVA!!!

This is the only single as solo artist from multitalented Cliff(ord) Branch who had some massive musical impact in the 80's and early 90's and covered a wide range of genres (Reggae, Calypso, Soca, Funk / Soul and Hip Hop). He was also part of No Self Control And The Band, the backing band of Son Of Bazerk. Enjoy this nice single of his album "All About Love"!
