New Jack Swing Mix Vol. One

Part 2 here: https://soundcloud.com/nebakaneza/new-jack-swing-mix-vol-2 New Jack Swing is the first music I really started listening to and collecting. I don't really remember songs from the 80's because I was born in '82, but I remember all of my schoolmates liked New Kids on the Block, and I hated bullshit bubble gum pop like that. It wasn't until around 1990 that I really started paying attention to the radio. The stations I remember at the time were Hot 97.7, 106.1 KMEL, and Wild 107.7 (Now Wild 94.9). I would spend all day listening to those stations and recording the songs on tape, or watching MTV and recording the videos on my VCR. I'll never forget when I got a CD player for my 10th birthday. I worked odd jobs cleaning up yards and so forth so I could save up money to buy my first CDs, which ended up being Michael Jackson's "Dangerous", Mariah Carey's self titled first album, Janet Jackson's self titled album, TLC's "Ooooooh on the TLC Tip", Boyz II Men's "Cooleyhighharmony", and Bell Biv DeVoe's "Poison". I listened to those CDs non stop (especially MJ) and drove my parents insane. If you listen to most of my mixes, you can detect a bit of soul in almost every one. It's because my roots as a music lover comes from music like this. Here is the playlist.
