We got some more Tokyo Cigar heat for you today! This is Tokyo’s tribute to the legend J Dilla, reflipping the sample Jay Dee used for Ghostface Killah’s “Whip You With a Strap.” The track was originally slated to be on his instrumental project with Camillo, The Ivy League Project. Check it out after the jump and get ready for the Plexiglass Fountain debut coming soon!

You need to work on your drums. I say scrap them and just play them live again over the sample. Sometimes, less is more.

Yo Darrell. I respect your opinion but let me address that real quick. I was re flipping this for an instrumental project with no rhymes on it so i orchestrated it from the chops and synths to the drums. I’m not gonna do the same style every time cause that aint me. I experiment and try to take things to the next level. I got simple drums and complex ones too. It is what it is. Peace man. Stay up

One love to all the heads that showed love for this. ONE!!!!!!
