The Herbaliser – Road of Many Signs
This is a YoCheckThisJam classic. It comes off their album Very Mercenary released in 1999.
One of the premier Trip Hop groups ever, Herbaliser takes old school hip hop beats from such acts as Sugar Hill Gang and The Jungle Brothers, and fuse them with funk and jazz tracks. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had sampled a Topaz saxophone track at some point. Some lucky MCs get to showoff their lyrical prowess on select tracks by Herbaliser as well. For this jam Road of Many Signs Herbaliser samples The Dream Warriors, a Toronto based Hip Hop group.
Recommended places to listen to this song: Driving (especially as a change of pace from metal bands like The Black Tide) hanging out at a lounge or coffee shop, or while watching a Guy Richie movie.
