Lowell Fulson – Tramp
From the counter

Lowell Fulson had "Tramp" on record before Cypress Hill built on it, and Otis Redding cut it with Carla Thomas too. Salt‐N‐Pepa took a swing at it as well, so one song lands in a lot of hands.

Nine Wu-Tang names on the credit, and underneath them a 1966 side by Lowell Fulson, who wrote "Tramp" with Jimmy McCracklin. Put his record on first, then the Wu-Tang track, and listen for the floor they built on.
