Anyone good with R&B

sounds like a girl group from the late 90s, help please

Pretty sure it’s Brandy. And the production sounds like something from her 1995 debut album, although this specific tune is not on it.

When I think of R&B, I think of something like this:

 

[AttackFormation]

Doesnt shazam work on that song?

 

[derby1]

no because its very quiet in the background I think

Don't know if this is what you're looking for but the exact sampled song is Curtis Mayfield - Right On For The Darkness.

Edit: Just realized, you were probably talking about the song quietly playing in the background during the skit in the beginning.

Alright, I found the actual background song in the video:

Faith Evans was on the same label as Mase. They were big on featuring songs (and cameos) by label mates in videos to garner interest for their new and upcoming artists. That's why I figured it'd be unlikely for them to feature a song by Brandy in 1995, when she was competing for the same audience as Faith Evans. Both singers debuted in 1995.

Thanks for reminding me to dig into Curtis Mayfield's catalog, amazing work
