Lewis </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Producer (s) </Th> <Td> Kendal, Barr 9 Productions & Ahmad </Td> </Tr> <P> "Back in the Day" is a 1994 West Coast hip hop single by Ahmad . Released when Ahmad was only 18, the song is a nostalgic remembrance of childhood and young teenage years, from a somewhat jaded adult perspective . "Back in the Day" was Ahmad's only major hit single, making it to #26 on The Billboard Hot 100, #19 on the US R&B chart on the strength of its hook - a sample of the Teddy Pendergrass song "Love TKO"--and Ahmad's quirky vocal style, reminiscent of Fatlip of the Pharcyde fame, and #3 on the US rap chart . It was the first single of his 1994 self - titled album and was RIAA - certified gold . </P> <P> The TKO Remix of "Back in the Day" (Produced By Maurice Thompson of Barr 9 Productions) is featured as the single and on the soundtrack of The Wood, a 1999 motion picture . </P>
