“Diamond in the back / Sunroof top / Digging the scene with the
gangster lean" - Does it get any smoother than that? Stick this record
on and get lost in that effortless bassline, sensual guitar licks,
coupled with DeVaughn's silky vocals and you'll be right there kicking
back in the Cadillac. Oft sampled by the likes of NWA and De La Soul
and covered multiple times, most notably on Massive Attack's debut
album.
On the B side you're treated to 'Blood Is Thicker Than Water',
DeVaughn's first single giving a taste of the masterfully stylish soul
he was to carry throughout his career.
