It&#8217;s everything you like about Slum Village on Fantastic Vol. 2. It&#8217;s definitely got Dilla&#8217;s time stamp all over it. This is Neo-Soul rap shit for lovers, who vibe out to Spike Lee flicks and drink tea like Drake at Erykah Badu&#8217;s house. It&#8217;ll give you a Love Jones like Larenz Tate (yeah, that&#8217;s a Hughes Brother&#8217;s reference). Word to track 5. (&#8220;Feelin You&#8221; feat. Botni Applebum.)<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Budamonk&#8217;s in your trunk, turn the bass up\u2026&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Burn an ounce to it. You&#8217;ll feel better.<\/p>\n<p>For real tho. It&#8217;s putting chivalry back in rap. <em>&#8220;Apologies&#8221;<\/em> is one of the best tracks dedicated to women since Common Sense or 2pac dropped some heart felt grown man bars for all the ladies out there.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s smooth tho. Not for the turn up, but for the Cadillacs riding slow. Blast the instrumental tracks (Jazz Cafe Pt. 2  &#038; Ms. Mahogany) while you lean in the whip\u2026 the funk would have George Clinton drop Jolly Ranchers in his po&#8217; up. It&#8217;s that syrupy. But on the kinda wave D&#8217;Angelo would surf.<\/p>\n<p>Things end with <em>&#8220;Universal Love&#8221;<\/em>. It&#8217;s the kinda joint you wish Black Star would make again. It&#8217;s like open mic poetry in the last book store. Roots, Jazz and Hip Hop. It might just get Sade wet. <\/p>\n<p>For real.<\/p>\n<p>Budamonk and Joe Styles bring you a polished positive record to vibe to. It&#8217;s definitely gonna make your game velvety.<br \/>\nYou can cop the album <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/soul-quest-ep\/id917402036\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; You know your man&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DropJewelz\">Drop Jewelz<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xuC6TovbMS0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Album: Soulquest Artist: Budamunk &#038; Joe Styles Released: September 16, 2014 Label: Delicious Vinyl Its Mo&#8217; Better Blues on wax.
