Another in my line of mash-ups in honor of the young jazz rebel, Madlib.
I knew I had to use this instrumental last, but I wanted to use something that could match it's emotional level. I had initially tried using Common's "Chi City", but it just didn't phase out well. On a whim I threw this on, and it made me imagine Dilla saying good bye to Madlib, his blood brother. There are a few screw-ups, but I'm satisfied with the end product.
This was made using Madlib's "Misled" and Mos Def's "Travelling Man".
R.I.P. J Dilla and Nujabes, 's been a pleasure to know y'all.
Oddisee is one of the many up-and-coming beatmakers in this new wave of production whose ability and raw talent is truly jaw-dropping. Just skip over Asher Roth's verse. Yuck. Arby Wan Kenobi
