Hello all!
I'm looking for the sample used in the Bizzle song "Somebody" from his album Tough Love & Parables, released in 2010. This has been an ongoing search for me as this was one of my favorite songs growing up. I have searched through countless different r&b songs from the 90's and early 2000's but I haven't found any matches so far, so I've come here. A friend of mine told me that not only do the instruments and synths sound new for being oldschool, but due to the producer scene back in the day, this was likely made entirely from scratch and vocals were taken from another song, but I don't buy it because it's very obviously chopped up from an original song, and an artist with that kind of talent would likely have a little more info about himself. No female artist was credited for the female vocals either.

In fact, no producer is credited at all. I had to use AI to do a deep search across multiple sites to find some mention of a producer, and apparently the producer went by "Arsenix The High Standard" but there's barely any info on him either. I would contact him personally if I knew how. Someone who knows a lot of r&b songs may know what this song is, or at least, the singer. I tried to search by lyrics which is my typical go-to, but the only lyrics present from the Bizzle song are some vocal hums and the vocalist singing "Somebody, Somebody, Somebodyyyyy..."
I wish I could give more info on this but I really can't. There isn't much to go off of here. I'm hoping someone may know what to do next or just outright know the song.
