Erykah Badu - Mama's Gun
Just fantastic from start to finish...hard to believe Badu had writers block before generating this killer album. Different than Baduism, but still solidly in the neo-soul genre.
Man, what a run the Soulquarians had during this period. So much collective talent...and so great to just hear these folks play.
(Nice package from the late, lamented VMP, when they were doing great work back in the day. >pours one out<)
And of course I’ve been #nowlistening to Voodoo by D'Angelo (https://album.link/de/i/1440841365)

#l8n8music … #nowlistening 2 Hard Groove by Roy Hargrove / RH Factor
I saw them live - mostly by accident - at my local jazz festival. Great music influenced - as I only recently learned - by the #soulquarians. Makes sense. I also love Erykah Badu, The Roots, D‘Angelo, …

(2/2)
Wielding an MPC drum machine, Jay Dee/J Dilla basically invented a new rhythmic time-feel - a "deliberate juxtaposition of straight and swing time" - that has been reproduced by beat makers and live musicians alike (e.g., Soulquarians, Robert Glasper).

#l8n8music …. I’ve recently discovered a new music channel on #youtube - Digging the Greats
Apart from Kanye, it’s pretty much about music I like. This video especially connects artists I’ve been admiring independently. #Soulquarians
