This song is great, I can’t believe I haven’t heard it before. I really enjoy the opening call and response that starts at 0:07, because it plays homage to a similar chant on their classic track “Check the Rhime.” Tammy Lucas’ smooth vocals add a fresh, new R&B flavour quite different from Tribe’s earlier pieces. However, I appreciate that the core of the track is still rooted in their hip-hop beginnings.
Erykah Badu
Erykah Badu is one of my favourite women in the world. She is a one of the most famous neo-soul artists as well as Maxwell, D’angelo, and Jill Scott. Her music is influenced by R&B, soul, and, hiphop. She usually sings on looped beats. What I like from her music is that they never get old. Her vocal has old-school vibes but never sounds old.
This is the collaboration of Erykah Badu and Robert Glasper who is also my favourite musician.
