It appears Erykah Badu is damn-near never out of surprises. Moments ago, Ol’ Green Eyes took to her Soundcloud page (something certainly worth monitoring these days) to share another one of her “trap&b”recalibrations. This time she takes on PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s slow-stirred and sensual collaboration “Come And See Me”; a perfectly sedated sonic specimen for Badula to do her damndest, lilting, crooning and ad-libbing affectionately over the Toronto duo’s hit. The track comes as yet another sneak-released remix from Miss Badu’s ever-expanding catalogue, having recently redone cuts by Wintertime and Kanye West. You can stream the latest Erykah Badu re-freaq below, just be sure to keep that ear to the ground as we never know when she’ll strike again. You can also catch Badu on the road this summer, the dates for which are listed just under the player.
Illa J continues to embark on the path of dropping dopeness on the masses with his latest instrumental tape. After satiating the appetites of fans with his self-titled album, the Illest One links up with Bastard Jazz to offer up S/T to beat lovers around the globe. Amongst the dynamic set of select cuts, it is not lost that the entire project was produced by Potatohead People. Today, it is our pleasure to introduce you to this music that will have you grooving until your body turns into pure vibrations.
Standouts include “Cannonball,” “All I Need,” “Sunflower” and “Strippers,” which you already know as the song co-produced by 99.9-percenter, Kaytranada (whose own debut album is currently burning up floors across the globe.) If you’re looking for that good music to play while driving in your whip, or just need to feel the funk live and direct — check out the full batch of loops + sounds by clicking here.
