Songs like this one — by multiplatinum artists going off the beaten path to create music that comes right from the heart, or at least the ones of their producers — are exciting. DJ Premier grafts the backdrop, giving a postmillenium jazzy, hip-hop tribute to classic soul singers and jazz artists as Christina belts out shoutouts to Nina Simone and John Coltrane. Her latest LP, Back to Basics, is definitely worth a listen. Beantown MC Termanology adds the third verse here for extra street cred.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,800 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
