*1992 · Elektra · No. 5 in [Golden Age Hip-Hop](https://waxonia.com/genre/golden-age-hip-hop/)*

A Tom Scott horn loop turned into an elegy for a friend. The warmest record of the era, and the clearest proof that boom bap could carry real grief.

*1992 · Elektra · Picked by [Dancing to Bad News](https://waxonia.com/theme/dancing-to-bad-news/)*

A Tom Scott horn loop so warm it became the sound of the era, carrying a eulogy for a friend who fell from a moving train. Head-nod music built entirely out of a funeral.
