Tuxedo – Number One

What do you do when you can’t quite determine the sample of a classic hip-hop song? Create it yourself of course!

Perplexed by Snoop Dogg and friends’ “Ain’t No Fun,” the unlikely funk duo of Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One also known as Tuxedo set out and made their own in “Number One.”

With a sound suited for decades long passed, the two thirty somethings have put together an authentic likeness of a smooth jam that could have easily inspired the raunchy hit. Not gonna lie, it almost fooled me on first listen.

Give the impressive cut a spin and preorder the self-titled album over at iTunes; expected release March 3rd via Stones Throw Records.
