Jay Electronica - A Million In The Morning

I knew I would love this from the moment the beat dropped. It's got this gorgeous G-funk sound (R.I.P. Warren G) that is simple, tuneful and memorable: the perfect vehicle for Jay's wordy verses. The drums on this are lush too: I love the bloopy bass at the start of every other bar, and the stuttering snares. An incredible instrumental for sure.

And those lyrics are something else - some of the best writing on insomnia since Kevin Young's Serenade (which you can read right at the bottom of this blog post)
