D'angelo - Inst. #5 (rare)

[@phillytnoize]

This dude just has a way with chords, melodies and harmonies. I honestly don't remember him being associated with anything less than great, from his albums all the way down to these unreleased instrumentals. True genius.

[@bill8489]

It makes no sense

[@amirel-hajj3991]

Thats that Marvin Gaye spirit that dwells deep inside of this brother.

[@benjaminkenobi21]

90s style neo-soul of this caliber will never be equalled again

[@joecolon3381]

Say that!! Never again will it ever be matched. And for me neosoul was an appropriate title for the genre. Like some many like me, we grew up on Chaka Khan, Curtis Mayfield, and Marvin Gaye. So we knew what soul was. And we realized that soul lost its way for us somewhere in the 80s between pop and R&B. Luckily, hip hop artists we used to dig like Tribe Called Quest had stepped in to fill the void. By the time we were grown with children of our own, when hip hop began losing its way, there was neosoul like a breath of fresh air to folks who were suffocating from music that had no soul!

[@shinook430]

This is why I love KZbin. Something rare and precious is hidden in all those garbages.

[@Marcos_1983]

This D'ude truly has some great music in him.

[@id6992]

This is the most ethereal and beautiful of all the ones I've heard 💯

[@gaby82nd]

It has powerful death vibe to it, but in a good sense I mean... Dilla too I think had the same approach about time flowing by, years passing, shit staying the same, loving ones beginning to disappear as life goes on. And on. And on... Great track. Keep your sh*t going everyone, life is good!

yup this was definitely meant to be on Brown Sugar but sadly didn’t make it. if you’ve listened to the full album more than a thousand times like me, you’ll know all the riffs all the beats and each and every single instrument included in each song. Brown Sugar was good but this just sounds too good, to the point where it didn’t qualify to be on the album, that’s how good it is.
