Who is the girl on the hook she gets no credit and is basically the nucleus

Jazz and Will created a summer anthem before any of the popular rap artists of the 90s dropped a record. not even Tupac can say that, lol. people calling them wack because they dont use foul language need their heads examined, these are pioneers of the Philly Rap Scene of the 80s0 they are literally OGS of the people calling them wack, like go sit somewhere and give them their credit. they are the same style as Kid N Play, pretty similar

This was the song that made rap get recognized as a genre when these 2 made summertime RIP🪦 Jazzy Jeff
