So, I love hip hop. I don't always love some of the hip hop I hear these days, mainly because I think the influence has gotten pretty narrow. Instead of being influenced by blues, jazz, whatever, some modern day hip hop is just influenced by other hip hop. There are notable exeptions, and Tab One falls into that category. (Full disclosure, he is an old friend of ours). BUT, friend or not, he took Iron and Wine's "Boy With a Coin" as the beat for a new song on his Tabloids album, and I couldn't be more impressed. THAT is what hip hop is about, innovation and creativity.
Download it here, thank me later :)
