Been a minute since I was able to post a Waajeed jem, but here’s a tasty little remix that Jeed did for Jazmine Sullivan as a demo cut preceding the release of her debut album Fearless in 2008.
Jeed states…
I recorded this on a weekend lockout with Jazmine Sullivan a few years back. After a meeting with her A&R Peter Edge of Interscope Records, they were looking for a signature sound for her first project (which later became, “Fearless”). I was playing some beats and she stopped me when I played this one. It was a replay of a sample I’d gotten from Jake One while at a Red Bull Music Academy retreat.
This has been floating about the internet since I played it on DJ Jamad’s Afromentals Mixshow in April of 2008, but I thought you’d like to hear a crispier copy – featuring some additional keys from Simon Katz from Jamiroquai.
Always love posting the goodness from one of my favourite producers out there.
