Renee Anderson featuring DeVante Swing - "Gonna Be Your Night" appreciation thread

[I love Latina women]

A truly magnificent time in music when DeVante and his group of artists were making music

this shyt still sounds light years of right now

2:24 the fade out of the beat, Renee's vocals at front and center and then DeVante's coming in with the talk box

I stopped dude from being robbed at
ben monroe's studio back in the day.
nikka came up in the studio doped
the fukk up with two broads with
a neck full of ice and this mother of pearl
ring with a diamond the size of a damn
dime sitting in it.....(the entire ring was pearl)
I still aint seen shyt like that ring......anyways.

He steps in with a bad bytch on each arm
and sit in on the session but dude kept
knodding off like he was on heroin with
the broads pretty much holding him up.

I always had monsters around who
was always down to rob or shoot
a mutha fukka and my one homie
goes.......he out here slippin huh?

Ben looks at me and goes
I look at the homie and let him
know that dude was my people
(which he wasnt) and my homie shot
me a look like I was the grench that stole christmas.

oh ok, wow! damn

so at this point, was he working on solo work for himself or was he trying to do music for other artists?

i remember hearing that one Jodeci went their separate ways, Dalvin and DeVante was working behind the scenes

I know Dalvin scored with signing with Madonna's Maverick label back in the late 90's, the album was a huge flop though

but from what I remember hearing, that connection was because of DeVante once being "friends" with Madonna.

another thing i remember is DeVante writing and i think producing for this group Liberty City, back in like 00' or 01'.

yeah, if i remember correctly (it's been a long time) that's footage from K-Ci and Jojo's X dvd from back in the day, it came with the album

but yeah, it's pretty dope

it really did; those guys had the world in the palm of their hands and let it slip right through at the peak of their careers.
