Music Monday: Floetry, Nipsey Hussle, Troy Ave & more

On this week's episode of Music Monday: Lawrence (@Lreels_919) goes R&B and Martin (@marley_mcfly) goes to church. Check out our segment below plus all the music mentioned from our playlists this week.

                                

MUST HEAR: Alicia Myers - "I Want To Thank You" (1982)

I have to give credit to this sample from the new Busta Rhymes/Q-Tip joint (below). This 1981 soul has been sampled by the likes of 50 Cent, Mariah Carey, and Queen Latifah, and represents the universal spirit of music. Hit the jump for the gospel.

Otis Redding - "Try a Little Tenderness" #tbt (VIDEO)

One of today's #ThrowbackThursday features comes from one of the great singers and songwriters in soul, rhythm and blues. Those unwilling to do the proper research would recognize this song from the dedicated "Otis" record from Kanye West and Jay Z's 'Watch The Throne' album in 2011. The original song is performed by the late Otis Redding in 1967, just one day before he and his band died in a plane crash in Wisconsin. Watch Redding and his band progress this initially somber cadence into a full on praise and worship session. Try a little tenderness.
