The Neptunes

Then we locked eyes and I knew I was in there

Pharrell Williams, JAY-Z. "Frontin' (Radio Mix/Club Mix)." The Neptunes Present... Clones, Arista Records, Inc., 2003.

This song may have come out back in the day when I graduated high school, but it still gets me on the dance floor.

🎶 Ho!
We got another one Phar-real!
Dance, oooohhh
I call you "for real" cause you the truth, haha
Whoa-oh, ohhh-ohh
Young, great Hova
Dance, oooohhh
Uh, yeah, let me talk to 'em
Whoa-oh, ohhh-ohh
I'mma keep it real 🎶

Neptunes make number one tune, yeah

Beenie Man, Mya. "Girls Dem Sugar (feat. Mya)." Art And Life, Virgin Records America, Inc., 2000.

Sim simma.

Written by Jamaican DJ Beenie Man, along with the prolific team of Pharell Williams and Chad Hugo (aka The Neptunes) who also produced, this song features Mya's angelic vocals and has that early 2000s reggae dancehall fusion vibe I associate with summers growing up in Toronto where island culture and music abound (see Caribana, Kardinal Offishall, Sean Paul, Barrington Levy). 

Zagga zow, ziggi zow, zagga, yeah, zaga zay za zow.
