Not sure it 100% fits the criteria, but Dreams that appeared in credits music from Baller's on HBO has an interesting history. Recorded by Boston, minus Scholz, when he was looking at a solo career.

When I heard it, I thought I'd missed a Boston song somehow. Scholz had Epic kill it.

I didn't know this song existed.

And how could Scholz need a solo career? Boston was all him minus the vocals.

I'm going with damn it feels good to be a gangsta from office space. I wasn't into rap really in early 90s, but quick search doesn't look like it was a single or anything when released in 1992, certainly not outside of Houston.

Just a random album cut.
Office space 7 years later.

I was just about to post this one. It was really popular in small circles, but certainly not the more mainstream hit once the movie introduced it to all the middle-class white boys across America.

Growing up just outside Houston during that time, I didn't know it wasn't popular everywhere, so I wouldn't have guessed it. It was a wake up call to how regional music was when I went to St. Louis my freshman year, I asked people do yall like Paul Wall, Lil Flip, Swisha house, Fat Pat, Mike Jones (edit How could I forget Too Short) etc…and just got blank stares.

Too Short is famously from the Bay Area in California. Not sure what he has to do with Houston rappers other than being friends with Pimp C (who is from port Arthur) lol.
