@javonnbright This was not even six months before you posted your comment. Sometimes it's easy to miss out on the greatness around us, but rest assured, Howard never stopped sounding like something.

KARIMA IS RAW!!!!... oh yeah buddy, that chord at 1:42 is definitely not a V chord; it's a vi chord-an Eb minor chord in the key of Gb.
