Yeah and what about soulful instrumental hip-hop in
the vein of Rza's soundscapes and Fat City releases,
some ill shit. Check out Fat City Comps and Tony D's
releases (bad bwoy tunes). What about Ninja (9Lazy9)
and Alpha on Melankolic.
Most importantly what about the DON of COOL, Gregory
Isaacs, someone pls. say word, I mean u have to hear
Cool Down Your Pace (note: this tune's title contains
the genre down tempo (pace) need I say more),it says
it all... listen and watch as your heart beat slows
down, your pulse tunes in, the sweetness of the
melancholy hits you in a perfect moment of pop with
pathos. La bella vita.
sentimentale
PS If u r reading this DJ aregood I want to know if u
have sent my record yet! I trust u and all that but
I'm starting to sweat...
