If you appreciate the music and the effort that went into writing, recording and producing it, please consider donating whatever amount you deem fit:

« Feel Good Fridays: Mayer Hawthorne | Main | Way Gone Wednesdays: Kirk vs. The Gorn »

Throwback Thursdays: Frankie Smith

Frankie Smith is as old school as it gets.  He's the man responsible for putting "izzle" on the end of everything (way before Snoop did it).  Dig this groove and see if you can spot where a very familiar sample originated.
