Taken from 'Groove Curse' EP released 15th August 2014 via Soul Has No Tempo.
Stream / Download: soulhasnotempo...
Soul Has No Tempo present Groove Curse, Jordan Rakei's long-awaited follow up to highly-acclaimed debut EP Franklin’s Room, his modern take on reggae-infused soul music. Groove Curse takes an evolved turn, with a sound Rakei describes as “raw, vocal-driven, groove”. With the first single off the EP, Street Light featuring Berklee College of Music Alumni, Gwen Bunn (vocalist and producer of Schoolboy Q’s Collard Greens feat. Kendrick Lamar), the release celebrates the skills of upcoming young musicians who are writing, self-producing and taking full advantage of their vocal and multi-instrumentalist talents.

TRUE MUSIC FOR THE SOUL

[@raineisme]

Lyrics
Shout it like a stereo
I'm not your stereotype
No I'm not like that
I just want my life back
Shout it like a stereo
I'm not your stereotype
No I'm not like that
I just want my life back
See the government and me
And my fantasy's free
We'd spend all our money
On a fantasy tree
Then we'd chop it and we'd chip it
Then we'd turn it to pulp
Then we'd press it and we'd print it
just to give us our wealth
And the government and me
And my fantasy's free
We'd spend all our money
On a fantasy tree
Then we'd chop it and we'd chip it
Then we'd turn it to pulp
Then we'd press it and we'd print it
just to give us our wealth
See the government and me
And my fantasy's free
We'd spend all our money
On a fantasy tree
Then we'd chop it and we'd chip it
Then we'd turn it to pulp
Then we'd press it and we'd print it
just to give us our wealth
And the government and me
And my fantasy's free
We'd spend all our money
On a fantasy tree
Then we'd chop it and we'd chip it
Then we'd turn it to pulp
Then we'd press it and we'd print it
just to give us our wealth
Shout it like a stereo
I'm not your stereotype
No I'm not like that
I just want my life back
Shout it like a stereo
I'm not your stereotype
No I'm not like that
I just want my life back
A master
Keep the mystery
I could be an actor
Through the misery
I could be your Yoda
Teach you wizardry
I could teach you yoga
Though not literally
And I hope
got that inventory
Could be the teacher
To infinity
To infinity

LaNoire27 Hughes RIGHT HE 🔥🔥. I discovered him listening to Tom Misch, both are HOT

[@LaNoire27]

@@tamih207 I think that might be how I came across him. It was Tom Misch or Google play music. Either way, like you said it's fire.
