I bought this 45 hot off the press in 2007. Duhnam was founded with much anticipation on my part. I knew this first single would be good, but I was blown away by actually how good. The first time I listened to this song on my turntable, I actually melted. No joke. One day I was browsing in the Salvation Army in chelsea. And I started to hear this very familiar and creamy riff. Then it came to me! Make the Road by Walking! But it was right smack in the middle of a hip hop song. I came to find out it was Jay-Z that sampled white boys from Brooklyn.
As an aside, my good friends in Ikebe Shakedown are recording at Duhnam studios as we speak.

And this track too - lovely album.
Agreed. By the way, Tommy left the dap-kings to focus on his solo stuff. Not a bad move at all if he keeps recording tracks like this.
He's definitely on the right track, that is for sure! A gorgeous LP that I can't seem to get out of rotation. :) I am hoping to get in to see Charles Bradley and Menahan here in Austin, for SXSW.
I hope you get to see them, they're incredible live!
And if you like Menahan St, definitely check out Ikebe Shakedown.
Thanks, I'll give them a listen! I'll most likely hang around and listen outside if it is too busy for SXSW :)
