A rare music video has resurfaced on the internet this weekend, showing Beyonce and early Destiny’s Child singing backup for Houston rapper Lil’ O.

The video for Lil’ O’s “Can’t Stop” was released in 1997, around the same time Destiny’s Child started making waves with their first single “No, No, No.”

Before her “Drunk In Love” days, Queen Bey and fellow members of Destiny’s Child, including Kelly Rowland, were featured on other artists’ songs, like Silkk The Shocker’s “Just Be Straight With Me” in 1998 and 50 Cent’s “Thug Love” in ’99.
