Slo Get Up Vol 9 - Rise of the Hip-Hop Sleepy Heads

The Slo Get Up by Wyatt Closs

Here, we take the Slo Get Up format but put it primarily through a strict Hip-Hop lens. That was the challenge, so to speak. There's low-bpm progressive hip-hop to instrumental covers of noted hip-hop songs (like the 2nd track by Miguel Atwood Ferguson + Carlos Nino, a beautiful orchestral interpretation of A Tribe Called Quest's "Find a Way"). Lineup includes known quantities like Common, Beastie Boys, Mos Def, and Robert Glasper as well as the slightly more obscure and sometimes forgotten lazy gems by Freestyle Fellowship, Basehead, Bahamadia, and Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. And new tracks from Kendrick Lamar and DJ Quik. And by the time all this slowly causes you to stir about your abode, the happy "Margarita" by Big Boi, Pharell, and (no pun intended)Sleepy Brown kicks in and the end to say its time to face the day with a smile. Regular listeners should know that there will be explicit lyrics now and again. Sorry. That's part of hip-hop.
