On the A-side, “We Fight We Love” (originally featuring Raphael Saadiq) is tightened into a smoky, soul-drenched head-nodder, keeping the melodic bounce intact but streamlined for mixing—less intros, more groove, and that unmistakable electric piano loop riding warm underneath.

Flip to “Let’s Ride” and you get a leaner, bass-forward version of one of Q-Tip’s smoothest beats—those mellow keys and neck-snap drums gliding under his laid-back storytelling, now edited for DJs who want the essence without the excess.

No-frills press for selectors who know the value of midtempo golden-era bounce with just enough modern twist. Proper food for MPC heads, neo-soul lovers, and hip-hop sets in need of a cool-down heater.
