This was actually Ace's 1st 12" single released in Spring '89 w/ "Letter to the Better" on the B-side. Both i believe w/ slightly different mixes. I remember hearing both of those on Marley Marl's "In Control" show w/ a young DJ Pete Rock. Ah man, somebody give me a tissue. I need a moment for hip hop :(
+MrHanzosword YO me to what classic hit this song is damn DJ Marley Marl hook this beat so it sound real smooth for the streets man so turn the jam up now NY stand up
I have listened to this 11 times already in one day and I am still replaying.. The beat is so catchy and Masta Ace's rapping and flow on this joint is spectacular
Another great cut from a time where music was a saving grace for me. I'd lost my older brother in 1990 & I didn't know what to do or how to handle him being dead & gone. I love this whole album and this cut I played the most because it was/still is positive & relevant today as it was then. Great post my friend. :-)
This brings me back to some of the happiest days of my life in the late 8th grade :) may of 2010...summer was around the corner, i hit 14, i had a lil girlfriend then, my best friend and i did everything fun together!! The decades dance :') damn...alllll the great times. Used to plsy thid like 5x a day after school!! It was godly fun....wow. Forgot about this song until now n had to look it up :) Havent jammed to this sence spring of 2011!!! Now ims junior!? Smh time flies!!!
This song is way too crazy!!!!! If he released this right now with a lil more fluidity at certain points....he'd be considered the next Jay or Nas. This shit right here is serious folks. An yall know I ain't ever lie. lol

I put this on a mix through my old Panasonic boombox as the sun began to rise a few days ago. This song carries such lucid imagery. To me it’s a cool breeze, blue sky, sun shining, a slow bustle and quiet ambiance through the streets. Like the world is at a standstill. Nothing exists outside of what’s right in front of your eyes. TAKE A LOOK AROUND (TOGETHER)
