In commemoration of the release of Raphael Saadiq's latest album a href="http://www.amazon.com/Way-I-See-Raphael-Saadiq/dp/B001CY2EL6/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1221857620&sr=8-1" target="_blank"1"The Way I See It"/a1 I'm pleased to announce the release of my brand new CD...b,121b,121b1a href="http://www.cosmobaker.com/store.html" target="_blank"1Cosmo Baker Presents "Genius: The Sound Of Raphael Saadiq"/a1/b1b,121b,121img src="http://www.cosmobaker.com/images/RaphaelGeniusThumb.jpg"1b,121b,121I'm from Philly and of course you know us folks from the 215 have a rich history in soul music. On top of that, Philly was one of the epicenters of the great "neo soul" movement of the 90s and beyond. Of course Raphael embodies all of that, so of course when I had the opportunity to work with material from someone who I consider one of the greatest living artists today in the world, I jumped at the chance. b,121b,121When I was talking to The God Rehani and I was telling him about this mix and about Raphael's new album he was incredible enthusiastic. And, as someone who has worked with him on music, the first words that came out of his mouth were "Genius. That man is a genius." At the time I had been struggling with coming up with a title for the mix, but the term "genius" immediately struck a chord with me. I also had been struggling on how to actually make the mix considering that there's so much material out there that the man had his hands directly on. What to include, what to cut, the decisions were excruciating, and if it were up to me I would have made this a 5 CD box set and still wouldn't have had enough space to include everything.b,121b,121This mix is a representation of Raphael Saadiq's sound - from the early days of Tony! Toni! Ton??! through his solo work and the neo-soul era, to his latest endeavors - including music from his latest album. Solo records, collaborations, guest appearances, productions, remixes, exclusives and more... I hope I did Raphael some justice.b,121b,121[i]Tracklist:b,121Charlie Ray Introb,121Raphael Saadiq "Still Ray"b,121Erykah Badu "Love Of My Life (An Ode To Hip-Hop" feat.
