Fresh, was a single released in 1989 for the Ghostbusters II soundtrack, not a standalone album, showcasing Fresh's signature beatboxing and socially conscious lyricism. Its historical significance lies in its contribution to the hip-hop genre, blending comedic elements with themes of inner spirituality and societal issues, reflecting Fresh's role in elevating hip-hop's live performance standards. The track, available in multiple versions including an extended mix and instrumental, was produced by Fresh with co-production by Bernard Wright and Ollie Cotton. While Spirit did not chart, it remains notable for its association with the popular film and its call-to-action for self-discovery and collective action. No other hit singles are associated with this specific release, but its cultural impact endures within Doug E. Fresh's influential discography.
