Pharcyde's last great party record before they fell off, "Runnin" has a warm jazz/samba beat and their trademark sung chorus, keeping it fun and playful on an otherwise lackluster sophomore album. In years after its release, this became one of the key songs to ignite the Jay Dee hype machine, and rightfully so. Who says you can't play Jay Dee in the club? B-side features Labcabin's other standout Jay Dee produced track, "Drop." Instrumentals for both + acapella for Drop.
