TWENTY years after its release, 'Never Leave You' by Lumidee and Busta Rhymes is still a banger.<\/p>\n
Lumidee Cede\u00f1o joined the rapper for the catchy track which propelled her to fame. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While she's teamed up with huge stars like Shaggy and Pitbull in her career, she never quite landed a track like 2003's Never Leave You (Uh Ohhh, Uh Ohhh).<\/p>\n
It was the debut single on her first album Almost Famous and it peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n
It also topped the charts in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland.<\/p>\n
Lumidee is still working in the music industry and regularly performs at festivals and gigs.<\/p>\n
She grew up in New York City's East Harlem neighbourhood and said that she was inspired by Mary J.Blige and Missy Elliott.<\/p>\n The 39-year-old started working with DJ Tedsmooth who lived in the neighbourhood and was a well-known face in the clubs.<\/p>\n It was her track "Never Leave you" which had major record labels snapping at her heels. <\/p>\n She signed with Universal Records when she was just a teenager and had two weeks to put together her first LP, Almost Famous.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "Pretty much, the album was just the first songs I\u2019d ever written and recorded. We really didn\u2019t do anything new for it,\u201d\u00a0she told Billboard.<\/p>\n She has a 14-year-old daughter, who she doesn't share photos of on her social media. <\/p>\n Nicki Minaj's 2023 single Red Ruby da Sleeze samples Lumidee's "Uh Ohhh" and the beat.<\/p>\n Lumidee spoke of the moment she was contacted by Nicki's team for permission to use her tune.<\/p>\n "I do get these emails a lot through my administrator, but\u00a0I\u2019m reading and I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh wait \u2013 Nicki Minaj?\u2019 Obviously I\u2019m excited! Like, who\u2019s not a Nicki Minaj fan?\u201d\u00a0she told Billboard. <\/p>\n \u201cI got even more excited because I have a 14-year-old daughter and she\u2019s a Barb! She goes to war for Nicki Minaj. <\/p>\n "So I\u2019m like, if this happens, you know all the cool points I\u2019m gonna get?\u201d<\/p>\n During the pandemic, she dropped her third album, 1013. <\/p>\n<\/picture>NOSTALGIC <\/span><\/p>\n
