One of my favourite Hip Hop tunes of all time and a certified five star classic party tune. Infact this tune crosses over into House & Disco territory, it's that good. The lyrics are just fantastic and sum up that weekend feeling that you get, when you feel free, at least for a couple of days, before returning to the grindstone.

This is probably one of my all-time favorites tracks that the Soul have ever released. From the severely underrated DE LA SOUL IS DEAD offering, this ain't nothing but a feel-good party tune, primed for the dancefloor, aimed at placing a smile on your face. And though skating may be a thing of the past, blading isn't; so feel free to blade to this all you want. Of course, I'd regret not mentioning that Mr. Morales did a heck of a job on these mixes with its retro-styled vibe (even sounding a bit retro back then in '90 when it came out) - whoever suggested that hip-hop and house combine on this hit, THANK YOU! Why can't there be more releases like this nowadays?
