A masterpiece born from the encounter between jazz and hip hop
A classic early 90s song with DJ Premier's jazzy beat and Guru's cool rap.
"Lovesick" was a single released by Gang Starr and later included on the album "Step in the Arena." It skillfully combined jazz samples of saxophone and piano, bringing a breath of fresh air to the hip-hop scene at the time. Guru's calm rap and Premier's sophisticated production are said to have laid the foundation for the jazz hip-hop movement that followed.
