"Somethin' 4 da Honeyz" is the second single released from American singer-songwriter Montell Jordan's debut album, This Is How We Do It (1995). Produced by Oji Pierce, the song was the follow-up to Montell's number-one hit, "This Is How We Do It" and was released in July 1995 by Def Jam and Island. It became his second consecutive hit, peaking at 21 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in September 1995 for shipments of over 500,000 copies. The official remix entitled the "Human Rhythm Remix" was produced by Derrick Edmondson and featured an appearance by Redman. Both the original and remix had promotional music videos released. The track sampled "Summer Madness" by Kool & the Gang.

Critical reception

Neil Kulkarni from Melody Maker said, "This is all slick and well, but the saving grace of "This Is How..." was that bassline, and this one doesn't even compete."^[1]
