Don’t Sweat the Technique – Eric B. & Rakim

I’m growing a moustache to raise money for the Movember Foundation. So this month I will be honouring some of the best moustaches in music. You can donate to my mo here: https://mobro.co/harry-mo

Some old school rap you say? Sure. 80s New York rap royalty, the DJ/MC pairing know how to tear it up. A cool double bass riff, some funky looped brass and Rakim’s bars is what this track is all about.

They managed 4 albums over 5 years before they broke up to pursue solo careers. But what a 5 years that must have been.

Drawn (Feat. Little Dragon) – De La Soul

Hands down one of my favourite tracks from the past few years. Drawn is a beautiful collab between Little Dragon and hip-hop royalty De La Soul. It’s delicate, it’s strong, it’s brilliant. My only criticism is that it doesn’t go on for long enough.

Little Dragon is playing alongside Harvey Sutherland at Printworks this Friday. Cannot. Wait.

P.S. the image is taken from the video. It’s a good one. Watch it here
