i first heard this song from that youtube where he was in the studio jamming this beat out all by himself, on keys and vocals and drums. other than it being blatantly staged and produced/edited for viral youtube purposes, it was still pretty impressive. but more impressive was that he was in a coat and wearing sunglasses the whole time. i understand it must be his trademark look, but wouldn’t you wanna get comfortable when you tryin to work? i imagine he is rocking the coat and shades at all times: shopping at the supermarket, playing basketball, watering his garden, making balloon animals at a wedding. dapper. the beat is jungle brothers – brain.
