It’s a rainy almost summer day here in the DMV, and it has me in a very chill mellow mood (word to Bob Marley). I stumbled upon the featured project on my favorite musical crack site, This Is Real Music, and instantly recognized the name from one of my previous posts, Double-Dose of Dope:: Mara Hruby x Ebrahim ft. Aaron Hardin. In My Heart, I am Zebrahim (Sessions with Hazel), is a nice compilation of interpretations (vocal doodles, if you will) of the Brown Sugar soul singer, D’Angelo (it would be lovely to hear a new project from him!) and Dilla’s production of The Pharcyde’s Runnin. I love the way he builds each song, slowly progressing from beatboxing to the introduction of each instrument. It’s nice to get audible “peak” at what goes into composing a song. iDig.

As you should know by now, I am also a sucker for a nice, clever, and clean cover design. Kudos to Corbin Portillo for designing this.
