I was going vinyl for vinyl with my boy Aaron Nakai last night and he pulled out the Shuggie Otis after we did a samba set. I immediately thought about sampling Shuggie, but before I do that, enjoy Shuggie. This is his best record in my opinion. His Bill Withers-esq voice coupled with unique rhythms and sounds you still hear being utilized in music today is what makes him such an interesting artist. It's a trip that he never really blew up. While listening, you should be able to hear where contemporary artists such as Maxwell, D'Angelo, and Raphael Saadiq have benefited from coming after an artist like Shuggie Otis. I think he was ahead of his time.
