He has some really chill stuff however he passed away earlier this year...

Nice Brolic Scholar...I was going to add People Under the Stairs but I couldn't choose a song...

 

[Sir San Diego]

Thanks.

Hopefully I intro'd him to some new music. I need to go back to this vibe though. Been on that aggressive Bay Area 90s G !%%+ for the last few...

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I was going to post 93 til Infinity but I thought that was too old... Can't go wrong with Hiero though (which I see you included in your list)....Let's keep this going...

This just came on while my iTunes was on shuffle. Pulling the Jackson's This Place Hotel (Heartbreak Hotel) was nice...
