The Shuffle God is ruthless for this one! This posse cut had me going bonkers when it dropped. It was featured on Eve's 1999 debut album, Let There Be Eve: The Ruff Ryders' First Lady. That's how dope it was, it made me buy Eve's album...yes people, I once spent money on an E-V-E album. This song was originally supposed to be a remix of Jay Z's summer anthem from that year, Jigga, My N*gga, which was produced by the Ruff Ryders' very own Swizz Beats, but I guess Hov was late to the studio that day to record his verse. The song was still the definition of fire, and made my 1987 Chevy Barreta feel like it was a fully loaded Hummer when this song exploded through the speakers. You got something to get off your chest? Listen to this, and all the weight will be lifted. You're welcome.

Daily Throwback: The High & Mighty ft. Mos Def & Skillz - B-Boy Document '99
The Shuffle God has returned! Taking us back to 1999, the ass end of hip-hop's golden era. The Soundbombing series from Rawkus Records introduced the world to Mos Def, Talib Kweli, the Beat Junkies, etc. Soundbombing II was my summer soundtrack that year, and this cut hit clean-up. You're welcome.
