The Yester-Daily Choice: Emanon - The Waiting Room
A long time ago, in a tiny Eastern Washington town, at a radio station who’s listeners were mostly convicts, I was a hip-hop DJ. I know, I know, from the selection of music I’ve attempted to stuff down your throat in the year or so I’ve been writing for Sound on the Sound this seems preposterous, but alack, alas, ’tis true.
Back in the days when I ruled the airwaves though, there was a duo named Emanon that steadily held my ear. For some reason over the course of the last few months I’ve found myself digging in to my more hip-hop oriented past and again, for whatever universe-oriented, swirling-galaxy reason, I keep stumbling upon Emanon.
This track, off the duo’s (Aloe Blacc and Exile) The Waiting Room is a stunning gem, the kind of underground hip-hop track that makes you nod your head and appreciate good music, not grimace distastefully and wish for the early-90s to swing down and break some heads.
Oooh ooooh, that sample, it makes the heads spin.
