The Origin: Black Ivory – You & I

Come on, now. Don’t make me have to explain to you what song this is about. The highest profile use of such a soulful hit would of course be by Q-Tip, but check out Wiz Khalifa having a go at said intrumental. Can’t forget about the ever so talented but weird sounds of Madlib.
Q-Tip – Gettin Up

Melo-X x Jesse Boykins III x Theophilus London – She Is Forever

Quote from SoulCulture.co.uk:
“Some songs strike you from the get-go. Glued from the first few bars; this became my motivational anthem of the year. Recorded well over a year ago but unreleased until now, MeLo-X joins forces with Jesse Boykins III and Theophilus London on “She Is Forever”; a metaphorical celebration of black culture, packed with fierce quotables, emotive sentiments and passionate delivery over galactically epic production by MeLo, who also impresses with his own lyrical prowess on this number.
We’ve been sitting quietly on this track for most of 2010 so it’s with immense pleasure that I can now exclusively make it available to you all for free download. I LOVE it. I hope you do too:”
