Beat of the Day #3 (sLabofmisuse)

Here we have a beat by fellow label-mate sLabofmisuse from Capetown, South Africa, and his recent Cold Busted release "Street Bangerz: Vol. 5". This particular beat reminds me a bit of Thelonious Monk... I love when you can hear one note, or one chord go so far.. even drive a song. Clever sampling and layering while maintaining beautiful simplicity. Keepin' it raw!! Great horns, great guitar, great bass, and oh yea those drums knock! The reversed cymbal that comes in and out is a great touch as well.
