There’s nothing like the feel-good vibes of the ’90s to brighten your day.
And, today, we have to thank Kamaiyah for taking us there with the video for “Build You Up,” which was heavily inspired by the era.
Bright colors, dance parties and keeping it positive with great company is what the Ill Yaya’s video is all about.
On Twitter, the Oakland native says that the video is an homage to girl group TLC. T-Boz from the legendary group also gave the song and video her stamp of approval.

The song itself, off the recent XXL Freshman’s upcoming debut studio album, Don’t Ever Get It Twisted, features a sample of Tony! Toni! Toné!’s “Feels Good.” It doesn’t get more throwback than that.
