This November marks the 20th anniversary of the debut album Aijuswanaseing from Musiq Soulchild.
Wow 20 years ago... really? Around that time I would’ve been taking a huge leap of faith with my craft, career and heart. Finally I was compiling actual songs from all the poetry, prose and verses inked in the back of schoolbooks, and beat-boxes and melodies hummed into tons of mini cassette tapes. Love was new and I'd been attracted to her long enough now to pursue with my offerings.
Just Friends (Sunny) written by Carvin "Ransum" Haggins, Bobby Hebb, Taalib Johnson, produced by Ivan "Orthodox" Barias, Carvin "Ransum" Haggins.
With Musiq's range being so very close to mine this is my favourite song to cover. Early encounters with love (or building from the friend zone). This song flows very much like a conversation as does the entire album, as often do I, ready to break into my rap... gimme a beat-box.
