Brooklyn We Go Hard
February 1, 2010
This weekend I came across one of my dopest jazz finds yet, with Roy Ayer’s classic He’s Coming (Polydor 1971). While Mr. Ayers is mostly known by the masses for his later material (i.e. Everybody Love the Sunshine), this is the type of record for groove diggers like myself. For instance, every time I hear “We Live in Brooklyn, Baby” I bug out pretty hard…Not only because I grew up on Mos Def’s Black on Both Sides, but mostly how infectious (and raw) the track is overall (drums?).
If you’re not up to speed on this gem (late pass for me for sure), be on the lookout because it’s definitely worth the wait.

Yo, this was also used on that Chi Ali joint, “Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number”
