1. Roc Marciano “76”
That’s one of my favorites. I still play that shit every night, when I’m just riding. It has to be nighttime when I’m blasting that song in the whip. I love that track. I don’t know where the fuck they got that sample from, it’s probably from Portugal or some weird place. But I love that sample that they cooked up.”
2. Flying Lotus “Until The Quiet Comes (Short Film)”
“I love the whole album, but sometimes I just go to YouTube to hear the [short film] version because it’s like a gumbo pot of the whole album in three, four minutes. That’s one of my favorite visuals, too. It’s just as entertaining as the audio. I can close my eyes and listen to it, or put it on YouTube and press mute. It’s that incredible to me.”
3. Lupe Fiasco “The Cool”
“I had no idea [Kanye West] produced that beat, I never looked that deep into the credits. It makes sense now, though.”
4. YC the Cynic “Molotovs at Poseidon”
“That’s one of my favorite records that came out in the past five or six years by a new artist that really impressed me. Sometimes I still consider myself a new artist. To hear somebody that was a youngin’ kicking shit like that was inspiring.”
5. Nas “The Season”
“That’s the number one joint I play. That’s just the soundtrack to a beautiful time in my life right now, man. And it’s by J Dilla, who is one of my favorite producers. The first mixtape I ever put out had a track that was produced by J Dilla. And, Nas is my dude. That’s my boss, my favorite rapper ever, etc. That history is really deep.”
Fashawn, who has recently released The Ecology, is also on tour dropping line from the project. Exile, EarthGang, and SonReal are special guests on the 28-stop tour, which began Feb. 26.
