A few years ago, me and Busta got together and did a really fun project: DILLAGENCE.

Busta had a bunch of unreleased Busta and Dilla collabos in the stash… and we thawed them out, remastered them, added some special guests… and voila… instant classic.  Dillagence!

This is the intro (produced as an ode to Dilla by the legendary DJ Spinna).

Busta tells a great story on this one.

This re-edit, which kicks off one of my favorite mixtapes, is now the intro  to my radio show in ATL called "The Soul Chamber." on WRFG 89.3 FM. It's inspired by the sound and vibes of UK Soul super group, Silhouette Brown from their seminal self-titled debut album. I'd just come back from WMC in Miami and began working on a mixtape at the homie Dj Dug Boogie's studio  when I got a call from Stacy Epps.  She had just flown back from a trip to Japan and dropped by to catch up.  She heard me toying around with an interlude from an SB track I'd mashed-up with BT Express' "Do It 'Til You're Satisfied"  (BTW, this drum break is still one of the coldest not produced by James Brown). Stacy was feelin it and immediately started scatting and ad libbing. Within moments, we had lyrics.  She and stepped into the booth and made a little magic.

"When I grow up, I wanna be like Omar" - Stevie Wonder

There are precious few, if any contemporary UK artists whose creative credentials and influence extend as far and so consistently wide as Freestyle Records' most recent signing Omar. Since first breaking through to worldwide renown all the way back in 1991 with his first releases on Gilles Peterson's seminal Talking Loud label, and going on to work with all manner of musical legends including a certain Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, Angie Stone, Syreeta Wright, Common, and Carleen Anderson.

Fast forward to 2013, and Omar's reputation for being a thoroughly original artist following his own individual path remains undiminished. After recently picking up an M.B.E. for his outstanding contribution to the UK music scene, even the British Establishment has now acknowledged what many already appreciated and understood for many years.

There cannot have been many times a bass clarinet b-line was destined to become one of the most memorable and catchiest moments in contemporary soul, but on the new single, The Man, that's precisely what happens. Add to that a stunning vocal performance, the slinkiest of beautiful key changes, and an uplifting vibe that simply emanates class and style, and you will understand why those who were privileged to hear The Man early on, all without exception, flipped, slipped and fell totally in love with its soul, its groove and irrepressible spirit.

This release sees three reworkings of the title track; US mainstay of conscious hip hop and electronica, Shafiq Husayn, literally leapt at the chance to remix The Man and gives it a minor mood feel, with spacey synthesiser lines added to emphasise this most memorable of melodies, Maddslinky (aka Zed Bias), came with a remix from a pumping, contemporary club direction including a driving beat coupled with spacy breakdowns and his trademark production skills, and Scratch Professer puts his unique stamp on his retwist of The Man like no one else could!

Completing the circle that began all the way back in the early 1990s, Omar has completely re-recorded his classic love song There's Nothing Like This, which this time features bass player to the Gods Pino Palladino. The touching sentiment remains undiminished, but with the addition of soaring strings, soulful, jazzy horns, an all round live and acoustic feel, plus an extended and new arrangement, Omar has done the impossible; improved upon the un-improvable, that is likely to become the definitive version of an already much adored classic.
