Wyclef Jean ft. R.Kelly & Canibus – 

Gone till November (Remix) 1999

"Gone till November" is the third single released from Wyclef Jean's debut solo album, The Carnival. The US top ten hit, "Gone Till November" earned Jean a nomination for Best Rap Solo Performance at the 41st Grammy Awards in 1999. The remix of "Gone till November" features R. Kelly and Canibus, and contains interpolations of the songs "Michelle" by The Beatles, and "Karma Chameleon" by Culture Club. A separate music video was also made for the remix version. Grant it R.Kelly couldn’t make it because of some allegations you may have heard about that kept him in Chicago; but here’s the remix for this Thursday. Dang what happened to Canibus????

Janet Jackson - Someone to Call My Lover ft. JD

 (So So Def Remix) (2001)

"Someone to Call My Lover" is a song by Janet Jackson from her seventh studio album, All for You. Written and produced by Jackson and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the song was released as the album's second single on June 26, 2001. At the time of recording, Jackson had just divorced her longtime husband, René Elizondo, Jr., after nearly ten years of marriage. "Someone to Call My Lover", and several of the other songs on the All for You album, use Jackson's divorce and re-emergence into single life as central themes. "Someone to Call My Lover" talks about being determined to find a perfect match. For the single, a So So Def Remix was produced and became Jackson's first collaboration with later boyfriend Jermaine Dupri. The song earned Jackson a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2002.
