Song posts must follow the 'Artist - Title (Description)' format with 80 character or less descriptions. Hashtagged keywords & emojis in titles are not allowed.

Nice. Posted this track a few weeks ago here, complete banger. Needs reposting every few weeks my main octopus_ink, ty. ;)

❤️ If you don't already know this - check out the Erykah Badu post "The Healer" - I was amazed to realize it seems like it's clearly an homage to this song even though it sounds quite different. (and is also a banger, if a bit of a slower paced one) You'll notice some identical lyrics. 🙂

Frigging A. Never heard this before, it's a tight but unquantized beat, late meandering bass, Badu paying respect to Dilla who mastered this style like a theoretical physicist.

Thank you my friend outta the sea, if ever....please ink me again with these grooves.

While I am not by any means a connoisseur as you seem to be, I have another couple from EB that really rocked me, I think you'll like them. Will post later. No knowledge of Dilla, but now I have someone to google.

Thank you my friend

And thank you for broadening my horizons in return. ✊

Yeah I seem, not really though, I just enjoy hiphop as much as you do, *nod.

Also, you are welcome.
