Spottie by Hypnotic Brass Ensemble

Here is a re-sounding of Outkast's "SpottieOttieDopaliscious", you remember from their groundbreaking Aquemini album. Thanks to the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble's treatment of this track, I reminisce a bit more on how varied mainstream used to be and hope that this year ushers in more experimentation. Make sure to check out their latest, The Heritage EP for more cuts like this.
