Apparently it's Hip Hop Celebration Day, today (Aug 11).
I mean I'd say Hip Hop is for life, myself, but who am I to resist an opportunity to spam you all with some lovely tracks!
Stay tuned, everyone, and for those who'd rather not: Get yer mute on.
Let's start with what is probably my favourite song.
🌼 De La Soul - I Am I Be
🎤 Rapsody, D'Angelo, GZA - Ibtihaj

@crumbleneedy It's really something, isn't it?
I've idly thought over the years that there are many tracks featuring male rappers and female singers, but not many the other way round.
And I reckon Ibtihaj is one of the best versions of female rappers backed by male singers since good old Salt N Pepa's song Shoop, back in the day.
I'm sure there are other examples I've forgotten about, but I really do struggle to think of them!
