And this is the alternative mix on, uh, the Sly and the Family Stone tune, Skin I'm In.
The Fresh record is kind of one of the...
It did okay in its time.

A little bit more hard funk.
Anyway, this tune...
This tune's deep.

So, uh, board operator slash kind of producer, Jenny, that's the band Pleasure.
Love it.
Ghettos of the Mind is the name of the tune.
I got that from their Best Of record.
Guess what their Best Of record's called.
Uh, Ghettos of the Mind?
The Greatest of Pleasure.
Oh.
So...
Loved Ones, I'm a big fan of, like, the neo-soul genre in the, uh, late 90s, early 2000s, but the problem I have with it is kind of a trendy recording thing where they use that heavy bass, that heavy 808 bass, and they just kind of killed the tune.
But, uh, Jill Scott just, uh, released a bunch of, uh, remastered tunes without that heavy, heavy bass.
It's just a good, solid mix.
I think you're gonna dig it.
This is my favorite tune called, uh, from her.
It's called It's Love.
Dig it.
