Wikipedia article"'Keep On, Keepin' On'" is a single by MC Lyte featuring Xscape from the 'Sunset Park' soundtrack. The song was produced and co-written by Jermaine Dupri and sampled Michael Jackson's 1989 single "Liberian Girl". It later appeared on MC Lyte's fifth studio album, 'Bad As I Wanna B.' The song became MC Lyte's highest charting single in the U.S., peaking at No. 10 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, and also became her second single to achieve a gold certification from the RIAA, earning the award on May 31, 1996. In November 1996, MC Lyte performed this song when she appeared in the second season of the UPN sitcom 'Moesha'. Critical receptionAlan Jones from 'Music Week' wrote, "A fast-rising US hit from the 'Sunset Park' soundtrack, MC Lyte featuring Xscape's Keep On, Keepin' On has been cleaned up for radio and is a splendid rap, further decorated by Xscape's soulful interjections. Based on a looped portion of Michael Jackson's Liberian Girl, it's a strong contender." A reviewer from 'People Magazine' said it is "so ridiculously snappy that you half expect the 26-year-old rapper to finally drop her guard and burst into song."
