Bebe & Cece Winans - Addictive Love

This seemed to be on Kiss FM every morning in 91. Listening to it still reminds me of rushing out of my house to catch the bus to school. So dope!

My boys Dub-L, DJ Cassidy and O'neal Mcknight have dropped a dope mixtape. Using crazy rare 80's instrumentals, O'neal freestyled six completely new songs, with guest appearances from Cass & Dubs. Very dope.
