Feelin' all those and hadn't heard any of 'em before.

I only knew Monie's singles back in't day. Didn't check out her first album until a couple of weeks back.

Kinda cheatin because I discovered that one late 2019:

Mack The Jack'a - Doing Dirt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOhyJAC5IAw

I had a time period at work in december were I fell down in a hole of early 90's tapes from Flint/Saginaw/Upper Michigan, thanks to that youtube channel as well as various uploads from hotboxsocial and old comps from Chicken N Kalinka, but that song is probably the highlight of it.

As a general rule of thumb, you can't go wrong with rap songs titled Doin ' Dirt.
