Ranked No. 5 in 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.
Picked by 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.
