Straight Outta Hell's Kitchen
Straight Outta Hell's Kitchen is a 1991 album by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam. It is best known for the lead track "Let the Beat Hit 'Em" which reached #1 on the Billboard R&B and Dance charts. The only other single released from the album was the ballad "Where Were You When I Needed You". The album's title is named for the Manhattan neighborhood in which lead vocalist Lisa Velez grew up and lived until the mid-2000s. The first half of the album was produced by C+C Music Factory's David Cole and Robert Clivillés, and the second half was produced, as with the previous Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam albums, by Full Force.[2][3]

gollark: At least ask people beforehand.
gollark: That really reads more like a bizarre passive-aggressive threat.
gollark: I am willing to pay people absolutely nothing of "real" financial value for finding and reporting "personal data leaks". Partly because payments are irritating to do and have security problems and partly because it would possibly encourage stuff like finding my data somewhere and creating/reporting fake sites. However, I *can* pay you in krist, an entirely fake not-really-cryptocurrency on a few Minecraft servers, or melons.
gollark: That's... not really better?
