The Flashback Fridays #1 For 11/21/14: Zhane feat Fam - Hey Mr. D.J (1993)

This is probably the kindest DJ request song without cursing out the said DJ. This 1993 classic from Queen Latifah's once lead duo Zhane has served as a smooth party groove song that still is top class to this day.

It deserving reached #6 on the Billboard charts and is a fitting choice for today's first flashback Friday video selection. More to come in The Flashback Fridays in a bit.

Also trying to pull a fast one on their middle class and poor is Michigan, as they try to get rid of the personal property tax and likely give a whole corporate giveaway to Rick

With many states once again asking important questions from their citizens, the shape of policies for the next few years across the country will get key answers regarding their future. The fight for an increase in minimum wage for workers has reached a zenith, with five states placing the future of working class wages on their ballot for a vote.
