Skateboarded to this song every sunset in Pasadena, CA - this song encompassed a time in music and hip-hop that was still very pure
@midknightlife
Adrienne Arambula this comment makes me come back to this song so much because I have been out in Cali 2x this year and it was my first time as an adult and that Cali song is just so damn poetic.

Mos Def to me will always be that b-boy afrofuturist/afrocentric rapper, but man he went in soulful vocals on this one. Quintessential
