...one thing I love with music is accidentally finding someone i'd missed. I like this tune and his style... it reminds me a lot of a track from Nine's cd I think from 1995... ok just checking my music... yes, the Nine track is called "Ta Rass" from his "Nine Lives" cd.
I was originally googling DJ Dave the Ruff because I remembered he'd mixed the Beastie Boys "Intergalactic" with Timm Dogg's "Fxck Compton" track, then got sidetracked by this recommendation :)
This is beautiful! Cannot fault the tune. Recorded from vinyl too? "Scratches and crackles" - is the skip in the middle actually part of the instrumental or is that just a skip? Wonderful either way!
This tune is fuckin' CLASSIC,I had it on vinyl but sold it with a load of others when times were tough a few years back,man I wish I still had this gem,it was on a 6 track e.p if I remember right.
thank you SO much for posting this...i've been searching for this tune since tim westwood played in in '96. and since search engines can't help you if you just hum the tune and i only had a tiny bit of the lyrics to go on....13 years later i've found it!....awesome tune that's just so much better than most rap out now
what a beautiful track well its just oneof many by lewis parker. the man is a genius to the fullest.. he reminds me of a true artist... he gets nowhere near as much reconition he deserves!!!
Sick track ... Really ... !!

It sounds like an Artur Rubinstein rendition, too.
And listening to this song, which I had not heard before, I now know where the sample comes from in "Charades" (on Silhouettes and Charades):
0:46
"Life gets hard / some get scarred / I'll be elevating, representing with the stars."

Great Tune that was released before Masquerades & Silhouettes !
0'47 => 0'53 is one of the samples of "Fake Charades"'s chorus on Masquerades & Silhouettes !!
