April 15, 1997 - Jay Z released ‘Feelin’ It’ the fourth and final single from his debut album Reasonable Doubt on the Rocafella/Priority Records Imprint. The song features a chorus sung by Mecca and a beat produced by Ski. The song’s beat contains a sample from “Pastures” by jazz musician Ahmad Jamal. The track was originally meant to be a Camp Lo song, but producer Ski gave it to Jay at the last minute.

(shoutout to my plug @meccapolis for this selling me this classic)
