Posted nearly two years after the last Slo Get Up, this is a double-length version at nearly two hours. To say the least, I was a little busy but always gathering this track or that along the way, putting choice items in my digital rucksack. And here they are. There’s a mix of soulful salves and simmering sizzles in this podcast. We start with Cuba’s Dayme Arocena and her beautifully layered acapella building towards the timeless and now politically timely ‘Compared to What?’ by Roberta Flack. No look back over the last two years for me is complete without a little Dice Raw (thanks Leigh Ann!) and a track from his ‘The Last Jimmy’ hip hop musical about mass incarceration. The totally rare, digital ‘white label’ track like StaRro’s bossa nova treatment of a loop from “Prototype’ by Oukast is a fave and more bossa is threaded from Camila Meza and Kendrick Lamar (yes, that dude). There’s a nice little suite of LA underground soul-jazz homies embedded back-to-back who I always dig: Shafiq Husayn, Dexter Story, Anderson Paak, and Kamasi Washington, like blap, blap, blap, blap. In between all of this there’s Solange, Frank Ocean, Chance the Rapper, The Black Keys, Lianne La Havas, NoName, King, and more. And there’s a snippet or two from President Obama’s Farewell Speech. And if that don’t get you up and at ‘em and stay positively woke, I don’t know what will.
