Currently rocking this little gem, thanks to OkayAfrica:

New York’s own DJ Obah takes a alternately angled shot at our Africa In Your Earbuds series. Instead of crafting a purely African-bred mix, Obah opts to “feature artists who aren’t born or based on the continent, but yet have been inspired by the history, sounds, and culture of African music.” He then bridges the gap by including a couple of classics from the diaspora. 

File Under: What The…  D’Angelo - “Black Hole Sun”

Remember D’Angelo? Ultra-studly sex-machine and purveyor of late 90’s neo-soul classics such as “Brown Sugar?”

The world has been waiting since 2000 for something new from the man who was once dubbed the “R&B Jesus.” A few random appearances on compilations and other people’s singles aside, this unusual little nugget, unearthed by Urb could be the start of a rebirth of sorts from the man.
