Yo
I came across a female RnB Rap groups who used the “Feels so real Beat”
would you have any idea who it is?
its not listed on “the-breaks.com”.
Patrice Rushen is definitely one of the greatest female singer/songwriters of all time. Her music combines Jazz and disco elements. My favourite is Feels So Real (Won’t let Go). I know it was sampled on a single released by some group backed by then Uptown CEO Andre Harrell.
