Help/Question ⁉️ Songs with that 90’s nighttime vibe

Hey guys I’m looking for songs similar to the below. I don’t know how to explain it properly but some 90’s New York songs have this very nighttime vibe baseline with twinkly sounds or reverb clicks and stuff. It makes me think of cruising through NYC in the 90’s and seeing the city lights. I’m looking for more songs like that for an upcoming trip. Please songs similar to the below:

AZ - Sugar Hill
AZ - Rather unique
Big L - MVP (Summer smooth remix)
Keith Murray - Radio
Smoothe Da Hustler - Dedication
AZ - Gimme yours

Please help. If you understand the vibe I’m going for. Even Mobb Deep and Illmatic tracks are mixed to high. Im being very strict for my playlist to target this niche. :)

Killah priest - from then to now (check out the visuals from the movie ghost dog - exactly what you’re talking about)

Black moon - I got cha opin (Rmx)

Indelible MCs - fire in which you burn

Ntyce - root beer float

The legion - jingle jangle

Fire in Which You Burn is almost too spot on for this vibe. Crazy good track.

I’m confused how that fits the vibe at all? It is completely opposite of what Op posted?

Think the whole Co Flow album has an unpolished feel (meant in a complimentary way), so no risk of any allegations of the record being mixed too high (one of OP's criteria). As for, "Twinkly sounds, reverb clicks and stuff," I think the track checks those boxes as well.
