Listening to whatever your favourite artist's favourite stuff was and then whoever that is favourite artist and so on is a real cheat code cause you just find so much cool shit you would have never got into otherwise
S/o Miles, Herbie, Roy Ayers, Donald Byrd, J Dilla, Q-Tip, Madlib, D'Angelo, Robert Glasper, Flying Lotus/Brainfeeder; IG Culture, 4hero and the West London broken-beat scene, Yussef Kamaal, Alfa Mist, Moses Boyd, Shabaka Hutchings, Yussef Dayes, and the wider UK jazz scene.
One of my favorite Black tv show tropes is where the main character promises to have a famous celebrity perform at an event and they then have to find the celebrity and convince them at the last minute to come perform and then the celebrity ends up coming.
