Hey all! Hope this is the right place.
I found this gem on /r/lostwave. It's supposedly an 'unknown test pressing'.
The instrumental sample is The Sylistics - People Make The World Go Round and is from the 1990s. The background behind it and the artist it belongs to is unknown.
What commenters claim it sound similar to:
Mos Def
NWA
Bahamadia
Paula Perry
Lin Que
Theories/leads:
The song must be after 1993 as it mentions the World Trade Center bombing.
Second singer sounds of Jamaican descent.
Recording quality suggests the artists had access to a recording booth, maybe had money, ties, or already known in that sphere.
Sounds like Crompton/LA underground.
If someone could check the comments on the tiktok, that would be nice (I don't have the app)
