Easily the chillest jam, no? Or is it? Like all great songs, slowing it down merely enables the listener to further revel in the track’s awesomeness, which has just been transformed into a nearly 10 minute epic.

I tip my proverbial hat to my buddy Jason Urick for this one.

Definitely click the link as Willy has some sharp observations about how this song succeeds in borrowing Southern rap elements and combining it with the local Bay Area aesthetic. As he says the great thing about the Bay Area is how its artists don’t take themselves too seriously, and this track is a great example of that.
