As of late, transition with the new day job has been keeping me occupied. Nonetheless I understand the need to keep updates consistent, and I’m a firm believer in actions speaking louder than words. However in this case the artists in this week’s I Got Five On It do a great job of using words, along with sound, to paint interesting perspectives.
Exile – “It’s Coming Down” (DJ Rhettmatic Remix)

I won’t call em remakes, the way I see it they offer alternative interpretations. They pay tribute to past artists/works and keep us diggin’ through crates music folders just so we can reconnect. At times this connection is the only way we’d give new artists a listen. They tap into our memory to catch our attention. I’m a firm believer in our past experiences keeping us rooted to where we need to go. So with that, holler its Friday!
