Now this is what you call great music! And now for a message from ‘Tay & Nic…
We recorded this over a month ago specifically for a ?uestlove tribute party dedicated to The Purple One himself. Other than passing it off to a few DJ friends who vowed to keep it on some secret squirrel, “bet you aint up on THIS!” status, no one has ever heard it. In the wake of the incredible loss we suffered on June 25 however, this joint took on somewhat of a deeper meaning.
We decided to share it with our fans not only as a token of appreciation, but also as a way of paying respect to one of our last living musical geniuses.
Let’s not wait until tragedy strikes before we show love and gratitude to our heroes, people. Give them their flowers while they live.
This one’s for you, Mr. Nelson. You are loved and appreciated.

Hot !! Love the fact they made it their own.
Well said! The man deserves all the adorations in the world! Has to be in the conversation for most talented artist still around!
Oh God I could listen to this forever. So good!
Prince is the greatest musician of all time. The man plays 23 instruments, produces, arranges, composes, all his stuff and writes for so many people. He sing and dance just as good as MJ and can play any genre of music. BEAT THAT!
This is pure dopeness…I’m glad they decided to share this with us. Prince is definitely a genius, and this flip is pretty amazing…wonder what he would have to say about this? “Game: Blouses”
Even though Rhymefest did a tribute album out of sheer admiration of MJ back in ’07, it is true what that quote said about giving people recognition while they’re here.
Wow, f’n incredible.
