Monie Love – It’s A Shame (My Sister) (Cassette Single)

British-born rapper Monie Love released “It’s A Shame (My Sister)” in late 1990 as the second single from her debut album Down to Earth. Built on a Stevie Wonder-sampled Spinners riff, the track became her most successful U.S. hit—peaking at #26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching #2 on the U.S. dance chart.

This cassette single includes both the album version and the “Cool as… mix,” inviting DJs, collectors, and analog lovers into one of early-90s hip-hop’s most empowering crossover moments.
