If you liked that "cover" of Killing Me Softly, then you should check out Wise
Intelligent's (from the Poor Righteous Teachers) "Killin U", which was released
on a small indie out of New Jersey last year. It's SLAMMIN' and totally
twisted. "Killing you, is easy 'cause you want me to....." over a hardcore
new-jack beat.

If you want the specific label info, email me and I'll hit y'all with it.

Peace,
