This quickMix™ starts with a hypnotic head-nodder from the prolific mind of Madlib. We then continue into a recently unearthed jazz gem that, according to Gilles Peterson, was created by the ever-nasal Akon‘s father. We conclude with a master. A rare cut that I went in search of after hearing the Fela section of J. Period & K’naan’s “Messengers” mixtape.

Have to big up the one called J (jimmy-james) Bold (just thought I’d add another “also-known-as” to his growing list. Ha!) on the occasion of his birthday. And, what better way to do this than to spread the sound of his skill.

This “Figit Mix” is a good sound to start the party that will be at Plan B (yes, the B is for Brixton, people. NICE site, by the way!).

Why he would do this picture damage to himself on his mySpace site is beyond me. Maybe it’s the beginning of his birthday licks. All the best, Jim.
