Posted by Tenured Hip Hop artist Rashad Smith dug in the crate over the holiday weekend and revealed he’s sitting on a major gem.
In a post on Sunday (December 27), the former Bad Boy producer – who’s worked with the likes of Aaliyah, Biggie, JAY-Z, Nicki Minaj and more – shared a quick look at some of his old tapes and one of them included a never-before-heard collab with rivals Lil Kim and Foxy Brown.

According to the picture, the track was recorded on June 1, 1997 and was named “Enjoy Yourself,” timestamped after the arrival of both of their debut albums.

They were supposed to record their ill-fated collaborative album Thelma & Louise in ’97 as well, but the beef ended all talks of working together again.
