    August 2000 I was living in Italy when the Born To Do It album was released. I traveled to Belgium, London, France, and Switzerland realizing Craig David had all of Europe on lock 🔐 His music was spinning more than Cold Play's. I came back home the following year and he did the same thing in the U.S...Salute to this brother for putting in the work and blessing us with great music.

    • @HotShiznit
      @HotShiznit 2 місяці тому

      I think he was pretty big over here too with that first album. Obviously, nowhere near the level as in the UK but he was definitely making noise. But sadly the hype train died down after that first album. I was in high school when 7 days came out and I couldn't get enough of it. The show he had a few days ago in NYC was sold out. I was there and there were a ton of people.

    I went to buy clothes at a place called MANDILAS in TINUBU Lagos in the year 2000 and heard the road side audio cd vendor blastimg the BORN TO DO IT album so LOUDLY. I LOVED all the songs OOZING FROM his speakers so I had to pause by his MUSIC SHOP to ask for the name of the ARTISTE and the ALBUM spinning and I was told it was CRAIG DAVID'S BORN TO DO IT album. Ofcourse I bought the abum straight up and LOVED it exceptiinally. BOOTY MAN, RENDEZVOUS, 7 DAYS are some evergreen songs on the album. CRAIG r-o-c-k-s! 🔥👍👏🇳🇬

    curious if this line "when there is a will" will have an effect on a few fans which bought the tickets being declined to enter since "we're overbooked" or if there is maybe some extra seats being reserved for such things. hahahaha.
