DJ K.O. & Talib Kweli Are Taking Hip Hop Higher With ‘Someday’
Many of you will disagree with me regarding Common’s new track, but I expect so
much more from hip hop artists these days. Especially the old school lyricists who
know the ultimate satisfaction that bringing the heat to a verse can bring. Many of us
who remember 1988 as the single greatest year for creativity within hip hop are still
waiting for that second coming. I am not going to sit here and say that any one
artist or song these days will be able to embody this feeling that we secretly yearn
for, but sometimes a song comes along that gives you that shiver down your spine
that things are going to be alright. DJ K.O.’s track “Someday” featuring Talib Kweli,
Torae and John Robinson with Tiffany Paige on the hook is, in my opinion, an
outstanding track. And it makes a great use of a Donny Hathaway sample from
“Someday We’ll All Be Free.” From DJ K.O.’s forthcoming Picture This album
featuring more hip hop heavyweights such as Black Milk, 9th Wonder and Phonte,
this will certainly be something worth checking out when it drops. In the meantime,
enjoy this gem. [H/T: 2DB]
