I don't think I know this one. As far as I can recollect, the only Jeff Redd cut I know is I Found Lovin' (I think that's the name anyway) that I have on a New Jack Swing compilation. But if the track you're talking about is as good as that one, I'll have to find it. smile

Hey, therealfiness, it is sorta like u r the funk expert, Iam the newjack one (sort of)


Yep I got this track. It was not off his solo album so I can see the trouble in finding this. I love "i found lovin'" though, which was a remake of an earlier hit. (The original pales to Jeffs version)

i can see why u like it therealfiness. The vocals on the chorus sound like something gamble and huff might do (an i out of my depth now?)

Yeah its swing, but very mellow though.


I think it's all right. But I like the uptempo's of newjack mainly. Nice cut though. Catchy too.



The soundtrack "striclty business" is a must 4 hiphop fans anywhere.

I love "fat rat" too. Infact, that is my fav cut off their., followed by the smoove but funky rolling title track.

"lets fly" by Jodeci is cool with me too

That's cool. Anyway, i don't mind the original "i found lovin'", but Jeff's version has alot of spark with the vicious keyboards and all that a newjacker like me can't resist.....great track anyway.
