      +SeekerOfTruths That was a sound that was very characteristic of 1990s eastcoast rap scene. Many other rap artists fused jazz with rap including but not limited to Digable Planets, Smif-N-Wessun, A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Nas, and Gang Starr.

      but i then put in perspective that i am only 3 YEARS older than him, lol
