What does a genius drummer/producer do when he is bored? Questlove recounts his life and his encounters, it’s worth the detour. So much interesting peoples and stories ! A very good read. Follow this link to read Quest’s yarns : http://hypnagogics.com/questo/ It’s kind of on the same vibe as Charlie Murphy‘s True Hollywood Stories skits [...]
This is one of those undeniable Jungle Classics! Originally released in 1995 on Philly Blunt records (who also released another of my all-time faves Firefox‘s “The Warning”). I remember first hearing this jam on a Dream Teem mix CD and I’ve been bumping it ever since. Leviticus is actually an alias of Jumping Jack Frost, [...]
