I came across this while making a new mix, and was like wait....what the hell is this?? I see that it charted in 96, but I don't remember it at all. I see that Timothy Christian Riley from Tony Toni Tone produced it, which is why it has that TTT/Mint sound to it.

Does anybody know anything else about them?

I also found this song here from them...dope as hell too:

I had this tape. "Ever Since You Went Away" was the only joint on the album tho.

I don't think I've heard this song in like 15 years. I remember liking it and thinking oh cool the other dude from TTT might actually get some shine now. Good find. You need to throw this in a mix on some mid 90's R&B type shit. People would be like ohh snap.

That's the original cover, it's too dark to cover the whole year so I re-made it. The 95 for 95 one is here - https://soundcloud.com/r-tistic/95for95

I'll check this out later on tonight.

...since I never saw a remix or anything on both 12inches, I didn't mess with it.

Speaking of Tracey (the lead vocalist), I do have his solo album under his real name Sam Bostic which was sort of sounded like a System/Jesse Johnson rip-off.

These dudes singing sound like 19-22! I would have never connected that!
