    It is used in a house track "meltdown" by hustlers convention,
    and is also playing in the background the first time Rocky
    Is getting it on w/ Adrian....

    That sample the Ganja Kru has been used by a lot of people. Didn't Rude Bwoy
    Monty originally do the d'n'b thing with it back in 94/95, then the Ganja
    Kru updated it for the 97 sound. I think De La Soul used it once. Can anyone
    elaborate on this?
