I met her once at a songwriter’s conference and found her to be as sweet as she is in this interview. It’s always great to see kind people succeed.

This hits me on different levels. Born and raised in N.Y, a songwriter(etc), and did security for Alicia Keys debut record release party. It's one thing to produce something you're proud of but to have it become something of this stature is a whole other type of trip. That awe and joy in her eyes telling this is quite something.

This background story...simply amazing

Angela such a legend ! Crazy Alicia don’t give her the props she deserves !!

Lady, you said it..its all about the dip, an unexpected pleasant surprise that's what makes a hook and Wow what a hook! This is a NY classic a very elite club. Well done !

[kleenbeats]

That was amazing! The Netherlands will always be my New York, living there changed my life! (much love from Australia)

[DukesMusic]

It was the right song at the right time for this city. Everybody in NY just rallied around it, as they still do from time to time.

Beautiful - song, story and Top 2000 video

[krishendrix]

Can't help but sense bittersweet feelings. Angela's obviously proud of the song but I bet she wonders every day what if her part was kept?

[simbalijn]

What a story! And..how this clip build up. never expected this outcome!

[starblazers]

Great song, writing & performance! 💙 It!

[gabe_s_videos]

I still get choked up when I hear this song.

[ProjectDystopia]

This is beautiful, this song inspires me ; it makes me feel like I can do anything, even though I don't live in NYC.

[thelolguy]

Not really much interest in Rap but love this channel

[tomeksloekers]

Ben benieuwd of deze vrouw nog meer heeft geschreven 🤔

[adellis]

Sadly Angela Hunte never was able to get Roc Nation to release the original demo.

I think Native New Yorker by Odyssey could be a NY Anthem. Written by Linzer and Randell

[openyourmind]

People hates on the one who makes the song bigger is beyond me 😂

[snabbisnabb]

Personally I think they made the right call putting Alicia on the record. Angela has a nice voice, however, Alicia puts some extra roughness in there.

Collegehumor did a Star Wars parody version, and that’s what I hear in my head when this song is played
