    ...Kashif rank in the pantheon as a producer and tastemaker within the R&B/Funk genre? Is he Top Ten or is he outside the list?

    Whitney Houston - You Give Good Love

    Howard Johnson - So Fine

    Evelyn Champagne King - Love Come Down

    Melba Moore - Livin For Your Love

    Made some great contributions to the genre. I’ll have to peep more of his work to make a judgement

    However i got a soft spot for 90s unknown artists so that’s more my speciality

    Steve Ivory had some unknown classic slow jams with a label he owned in the 90s (State-O-Mind the most known)

    Barry DuFae had a run in Miami with Raab (You’re the One is an insanely good unknown album) and also had some Miami bass songs towards the end of the 90s lol

    I’ll just send songs because going through a producer’s whole discography is impossible due to the ‘one and done’ nature of these releases

    (The f***ing goat of 90s slow jams. Whole album is a vibe. This song is How Deep Is Your Love by Keith Sweat, de-tuned and pretty sure parts were re-produced. Still managed to avoid being sued for not crediting 😂)

    BigPeter1086 and O*****icTunes are the go to channels for this kinda stuff

    Those channels are goated when it comes to forgotten, underrated, old school R&B s***😤
