    Ok, Basslick is total cheese, but you're not feeling Wookie's "What's going
    on?" That is probably my favorite 2step song. It combines good R&B (Soul
    II Soul's Back to life) with good beats (Wookie) and its not over the
    top. I also know that Soul II Soul is liking it because the song and
    Wookie is on the Soul II Soul label.

    I don't know. I haven't heard about them, a little more info about these
    people would help.
