Sometimes all you need is two seconds. The DJ throws the song on and you instantly recognize it. It's a great feeling when the song drops and you know exactly what's coming. That's what we're talking about this week on The Message. We're playing some of the most memorable intros in hip hop and R&B history. You'll hear music from En Vogue, Alicia Keys, and Mint Condition — plus, new music from Normani and Coi Leray.
