Talib Kweli's Quality Album Anniversary
When Kweli returned with his Quality album in 2002, things had changed a bit. For one, he was truly solo. Mos Def was long gone, and Hi-Tek was off focusing on his own solo career as a for-hire producer. So Quality featured Kweli collaborating with a host of different artists, among them a young and promising yet still largely unknown producer named Kanye West. "Get By" was the fruit of Kweli's collaboration with West, and it became the rapper's biggest hit to date, aided quite a bit by a non-album remix featuring Jay-Z of all people.

Foxy Brown's Ill Na Na Album Anniversary
Sixteen-year-old Foxy prior to Ill Na Na's release Before winning a local talent competition in 1994, Foxy had given only passing consideration to a full-fledged career in music. A subsequent invitation to freestyle on stage, however, brought young Foxy to the attention of hip-hop producers Trackmasters, who were working on LL Cool J’s Mr. Smith LP at the time. A guest appearance on “I Shot Ya,” a B-side single from that 1995 album, marks Brown’s first commercial credit. The song was a hit, and before releasing any material of her own, Foxy would appear on several other 1995-1996 platinum and gold singles, including Case’s “Touch Me, Tease Me,” Jay-Z’s “Ain’t No…,” Total’s “No One Else,” and the remix to Toni Braxton’s “You’re Makin’ Me High.”
