Red Cafe, “Heart And Soul” MP3

Red Cafe signed to Bad Boy and we collectively put our head in our hands. Cafe’s ground-up ascension as a New York City hero was well earned, but what has Diddy done for anyone not named Diddy lately? His new show is called “Making His Band,” for goodness sakes, finally acknowledging the actual focus of the entire series: Preserving Diddy’s sexy and moisturizing his situation. Cafe made some great decisions on his own so we’re not sure who to attribute him linking up with Pete Rock to, but it’s clear NY’s Finest still got it.

We have love for both of these dudes always, but they haven’t impressed us lately. You know what, though? It’s sunny out and they created a real laid back porch-sitter just in time for us to actually be capable of appreciating it. We can’t really throw the term “grown man’s rap” around without giggling (especially when we also have to deal with kinda obnoxious scratching), but this is a song for evenings on the porch if there ever was one.
