The socalled "Poet 99"...she kinda worked with Prince in the early 90´s , some redhaired girl that can also be heard in other songs. Most of what you hear are samples from her EP. Prince also mentioned her during Days Of Wild and Now in that Beautiful Experience film that was broadcast in 1994.

There's tons of Poet 99 samples in a lot of Prince's mid to late 90's tracks.

Well, maybe "tons" was an overstatement... but there's certainly quite a lot.
Here's just the ones I can think of off the top of my head...


“True signs of the times” – Love Sign
“Time is passing, passing is time” – Love Sign
“Dead like Elvis” – Face Down
“The boom, the boom, the boom, the boom, the crooked letter, crooked letter, crooked letter I” – Space
“Hold on to your wigs” – Days Of Wild
“Sex me” – Joint 2 Joint
“I never sucked sour splints from a chew stick
Don't lick bics cuz fire sticks 2 flame
Get wicks 2 catch brothers who choose 2 let burns remain
Now I see all Dicks, Toms and Harrys are not the same
Some dipped in my lower lip, sipped a supple poison” – Joint 2 Joint
“Diss me?” – Days Of Wild
“Bullets go bang!” – The Good Life (Bullets Go Bang Remix)
“Big Fun” – Big Fun
“That’s my only mission” – Right Back Here In My Arms

That's quite some research you've done there.

Nice.
