Darkchild is truly an EPIC producer.
He produced my ALL TIME FAV MJ song YOU ROCK MY WORLD
One Wish by Ray J
Lose My Breathe And Say My Name
As well as Angel of mine and Boy is Minehe has a whole SHRINE of CLASSIC #1 HITS
Why are MALE producers always so good at making Male hits but Female hits so much better than female producers
The Boy Is Mine, He Wasn’t Man Enough, You Rock My World, and I’m Good are my Darkchild favorites.
I’m good by Blaque? One of my favs too
Of course it’s his favorite….it’s likely made him the most money! But I digress, SMN and TBiM are my favs from Mr. Jerkins. 💁🏼♀️💁🏼♀️👍🏻👍🏻
Oh lordt, you know Brandy’s just swiped all of her 1998 American Music Award trophies of the shelf after reading this.
