Episode 111: Decade of an Afro Warrior

Last night’s episode showcases Benga’s “Diary of an Afro Warrior” ten years after it came out. Yes, this was what D****** sounded like before Skillrex came along and ruined everything. ~141 BPM, bass and space.

At some point over the past few years I got sick of trying to explain to people who were convinced they already knew what D****** was and what it sounded like that they were wrong and… yeah. So I just avoid using the word. Requiescat genre taxonomical…
