SAMPLE MOMENT: She recites a poem over a production from 70's soul group Black Ivory. The backing track is the same music used in the Black Ivory song "I Keep Asking You Question's" which RZA sampled for Raekwon "Crimonology". Except the mastering on this version is much louder and crisper then the Black Ivory LP.
