ClassicBeatz - Ntale's Groove

ClassicBeatz hit me last week in response to a tweet I wrote. So glad he did! I'd heard the brother's name before courtesy a remix he did of Bilal's - Robots, but the personal introduction put me on to his latest project Ntale’s Groove. A 4 track instrumental project which makes an attempt to trace his African roots through music. The overall vibe is very afro-beat and world centered, but also pulls from hip hop, soul and funk as well. It's uplifting, and the live instrumentation heard throughout shows Classic's ear for musicality. Sample the project below, and peep another gem from the project yet to be released - Kampala Hustle.
