People get ready...a change is gonna come



Download Here

As a build up to this Saturday's gig by The Roots with John Legend in London I thought I'd do a compilation along similar lines to the tracks they covered. There's a bit of Max Roach, Gil Scott Heron, Curtis Mayfield, Barabara Mason, James Brown, Rose Royce, Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix and more...

Modern Marvel




This is all about the best kind of hip hop there is. It starts with a bit of 90s acid jazz type business including, yes that Digable Planet classic and the first of a spoken word centred track. After that, Erykah, Kelis, Gang Starr, Nas, Common and Marvin (see what I mean?!). Some beautiful poetry from Saul Williams and Blackalicious. But the pinnacle is the two Mos Def tracks, off one of most underrated albums of recent times, The New Danger; the sweet flow of Sunshine and the epic Modern Marvel. It samples Marvin and it is totally worthy. It ends with a guy who is leading way in future soul AND is from London! Enjoy it, I have.
