Brother Ali - "Years"
Ali blessed us with a free EP for Valentine's Day entitled The Bite Marked Heart. With love or failed love as the topics for the EP it was obviously a little more light hearted (no pun intended) than Ali's other efforts. But this song right here is what makes me such a huge Ali fan. He can tell a story as good as anyone in hip-hop and flexes those story telling skills on this track about a relationship turned sour with a shocking conclusion. Some may also be familiar with the beat as it sample's Barry White and Glodean's "Our Theme 1" much like Nature did for "Remember." It was driving me nuts trying to figure out where I'd heard that beat before and made me go back and listen to a really dope song from Nature that I hadn't heard in years. So you can have 2-for-1, or 3-for-1 if you wanna listen to the original with Barry singing as well.
