Aloe Blacc performing "I Need A Dollar" on KCRW

Los Angeles artist Aloe Blacc started his career as a rapper, but it's his recent recordings as a singer that have captured our attention. He bathes current concerns about the state of the world in the sound of vintage soul and we'll hear it live when he joins Morning Becomes Eclectic.

[@MastaVo]

I expected this to be sung by by an old dude with no shoes and torn clothes. This guy looks like he's above carrying singles. He should be giving out the dollars :)

[@GirthGod]

guitarist definitely needs 8 pedals

[@WTFisvF]

i love this song, but on his album he tends to stray away from the music sometimes.

[@TheFelix1909]

@jakub50000 Ja chociarz próbóje go opanować... wiec zajmij sie wlasna dupa a nie innych gadka

[@jakub50000]

@TheFelix1909 jak nie znasz angielskiego to po kiego grzyba sie produkujesz w tym języku?

[@dboyd1089]

kcrw could use a new camera and a new man/woman behind the camera. The sound is usually much better on KCRW too... kinda disappointed. Aloe Blacc is awesome but I've heard better live recordings in public. Really poor job filming it though... Aloe Blacc is brilliant though.

[@ShotgunHeroX]

there's no groove on that drummer man
