Bryan O'Quinn was one of the few underground dance music artists to enjoy negligible mainstream exposure during the late 80s and early 90s heyday of hip-hop soul. O'Quinn's smooth seductive crooning style and exciting dance moves earned him a significant female following and made him a presence on the up and coming R&B, dance and underground house music scene. Even after industry grimier brands of output eclipsed the ultramodern love stories OQuinn favored, he transitioned his music into the more retro-leaning neo-soul movement, as it was honest and inevitable.

Lyrics

DIG IT 
Written and recorded by Bryan O'Quinn
1993 Entertainment and Records

Chant:
da da dah da da dah da da dah
Chorus:
Can you dig it baby Im trying to give my love to you?
To you and no one but you, I thought you knew
Can you dig it baby I said I need more of your time
not a part-time fling, I want the real thing plus overtime

It was early in the morning you called up to say just to say hi
I see you are at home on your one phone I know you were not there last night
When I needed you like freedom through the cold and dark of night
My emotions were torn asunder I needed help to mend them tight

I do not take love lightly its literally if its there I take it to the max
One woman plus one man ultimately that equals ultimately you and me
tell me do you understand the facts

Chant:
da da dah da da dah da da dah

Chorus:
Can you dig it baby Im trying to give my love to you?
To you and no one but you, I thought you knew
Can you dig it baby I said I need more of your time
not a part-time fling, I want the real thing plus overtime


By you posing as a dream you only fill my heart with sorrow
That floods the home I built for you I thought romance would spell tomorrow
You see I wanted you like freedom and I needed you like rain
As would an Arab man while on the desert as he crossed the widest plain
Oh tell me lover what can I do to make this true you make my light shine brighter in the dark. But that doesnt mean you can treat me any (just treat me right) Im gonna leave you for to long Im getting stronger everyday.

Chorus:
