Just enjoy it, it doesn't matter if it doesn't go mainstream it's real for those that know 💯

[@AreamtheGreat]

thought music hardly goes mainstream so we used to it lol

[@baroncircleclassiccarsdean6083]

No doubt!

[@andytheriault9383]

fuck the mainstream

[@behavebravestudios2413]

Black Thought, a classic Shabba sample, the trumpet, the whole entire band AND that flute riff. I mean...dang!

[@darklight7452]

@@Olyphantman I only left off this decade as it's only 3 years in. I'm sure he'll still be here at the end of it though.

@Frantz Fuller I'm only talking in the actual time window. Not relevance. He's always been relevant!

[@forthebeats1]

I’ve seen at least 3 of those dudes on different npr tiny desk concerts in the last several years. I’m just putting this together. Crazy talented group. I like to imagine that Tariq brought them all together to form a revolutionary force for good, slaying demons with vibrations from God. Idk if that’s what happened though.

[@DJCAUTION]

I don't even have to listen to know its good!!!

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

INCREDIBLE! Can't wait for the album 🔥
