Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)

"Deja Vu"
Song

"Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)" is the lead single from Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz' debut album, Make It Reign. Released in December 1997 and produced by the production duo KNS, "Deja Vu" was a huge success for the duo, becoming a hit in both the United States, peaking at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100, and Canada, peaking at #6 on the Canadian Singles Chart. It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America on March 31, 1998 for sales of over one million copies. However, the duo's success would be short-lived as they broke up in 1999 without releasing a follow-up album or single.

Three remixes were made for the song. The Frankenstein remix produced by Frank "Frankenstein" Fallico, the Pro Black remix produced by Ayatollah and a Bad Boy remix that was made by Mase, The LOX and Puff Daddy.

The song's two prominent samples are from Jerry Rivera's "Amores Como El Nuestro" (which was was also sampled by Wyclef Jean for the hit Shakira song "Hips Don't Lie") and Steely Dan's "Black Cow".
