Bob James is one of the key players when it comes to the musical evolution of hip hop. I found a Red Bull Music Academy based interview where Bob himself shares his thoughts about his career.
The song on 38:05, “El Verano” by Bob James… Wow, just listen to it (also on Spotify).
Some of y’all probably noticed that “El Verano” is sampled i.e. for Masta Ace - N.Y. Confidential:
Produced for Kool G Rap, Punchline (EMC), Verbal Threat, Ken Ring, Asa, Joniveli...
