Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature carved out to celebrate TV and Film’s glorious and informative past.

Today, we step back to 1998 to revisit ‘Beloved‘, the movie starring Oprah Winfrey, Kimberly Elise, Danny Glover and Thandie Newton.

A stirring demonstration of hope and frustration, Miggy took to his official Soundcloud page to unveil the first version of ‘How Many,’ a track he says is not finished but will be “updated every week until its complete.”

Let us be the first to tell you, however, the song in its raw form rings in poignancy. Hear it below:
