NEW JACK SWING KING VOL 1 - Old School 90's R & B

THE NEW JACK SWING MIX

Peter H - Soul Classic Sessions 4/14

New jack swing or swingbeat  is a fusion genre spearheaded by Teddy Riley and Bernard Belle that became popular from the late-1980s into the early 1990s. Its influence was the definitive sound of the inventive black New York club scene. It fuses the rhythms, samples, and production techniques of hip-hop and dance-pop with the urban contemporary sound of R&B. The new jack swing style developed by combining R&B style vocals sung over hip hop and dance-pop style influenced instrumentation. The sound of new jack swing comes from the hip hop "swing" beats created by drum machine, and hardware samplers, which was popular during the golden age of hip hop, with contemporary R&B style singing.

Serious-80s Smooth R&B Mix (2005)

(Verse 1 – 0:12 a 0:48)
From Dar to Arusha, sun lifts the street,
Kilimanjaro watches while the bassline speaks.
Zanzibar breeze in the cracks of the snare,
We hustle with hope, put courage in the air.
Dodoma maps in the palm of the hand,
Brick by brick, we’re building the plan.
Storms may come, but the ground stays steady,
When the beat drops heavy, we’re already ready.

(Pre-Chorus – 0:48 a 1:04)
Tupo pamoja—one voice, one flame,
Write tomorrow in bold, sign it with your name.
[Clavinet wah stabs]
Every step forward, keep faith in the frame.

(Chorus – 1:04 a 1:28)
Stand tall, Tanzania—rise up, Tanzania,
We move as one, we shine like morning light.
Stand tall, Tanzania—rise up, Tanzania,
Hold the line strong, keep your future in sight.

(Verse 2 – 1:28 a 2:04)
Market day rhythm, wheels turn slow,
Harbor waves echo where the small boats go.
Teachers, farmers, coders on the grind,
Planting big dreams in the furrows of the mind.
Faith in the heart with a hands-up stance,
We learn, we earn, we give life a chance.
From coast to coast, let the good times advance.

(Bridge – 2:04 a 2:24)
If fear is a shadow, bring torches to see,
If doors feel locked, make a key, make three.

(Chorus 2 – 2:24 a 2:48)
Stand tall, Tanzania—rise up, Tanzania,
We move as one, we shine like morning light.
Stand tall, Tanzania—rise up, Tanzania,
Hold the line strong, keep your future in sight.

(Verse 3 – 2:48 a 3:16)
Blueprints open on a roadside table,
Stories get louder when the truth is stable.
Karibu the future, the rhythm’s the guide,
Shoulder to shoulder, we widen the stride.
[Second-line handclaps layered]
No quit in the soul, no fear in the eyes,
We build what we sing, and we sing as we rise.

(Final Chorus – 3:16 a 3:44)
Stand tall, Tanzania—rise up, Tanzania,
We move as one, we shine like morning light.
Stand tall, Tanzania—rise up, Tanzania,
Hold the line strong, keep your future in sight.

(Outro – 3:44 a 4:00)


Stand Tall, Tanzania
