That brief period from approximately \u201992 to \u201997: the New Jack Swing sound got dated and soulful club music became much closer to the Hip-Hop productions of the time to create this Urban R\u2019n&#8217;B type of music.<\/p>\n<p>We simply call this era the \u201cThrow Em\u2019 Up\u201d period in reference to the way that everyone in clubs and videos was vibin\u2019 to these tracks: just throw up both your arms and wave them around nonchalantly (if possible with a champagne glass). The selection rules we followed for Vol. 2 are simple: #1: Soul artists featuring MC\u2019s are ok, but not the other way around. #2: All of the picks have to pass the \u201cthrow em\u2019 up\u201d dance test, which means: no New Jack Swing stuff, no Timbaland because although Timbo is a genius it\u2019s really a different kind of sound which shaped the late 90\u2032s \/ early 2000\u2032s sound.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Download and tracklist of the mix are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.musicismysanctuary.com\/onra-lexis-throwem-up-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and for part one go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.musicismysanctuary.com\/onra-lexis-throwem-up-mid-90s-rb-classics\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.
