US: Callin' Me by Consequence
First, a little back story. Consequence used to be heavily involved with the A Tribe Called Quest crew and can now count Kanye West as a friend and producer. For this track from his debut, Don't Quit Your Day Job, Consequence keeps it mellow and heavy with a funky snare loop that hits like a bomb. His rhyming style is quick witted and smooth.
US: Don' Let Go by Pacha Massive
"Don't Let Go" is a big, catchy track that can fill a room with its atmospheric funk. The track is the work of Pacha Massive (a.k.a. DJ Nova and Maya), a duo who hails from the Bronx. The band's music is heavily indebted to afro-Cuban dance music, dancehall, and reggae. With the smooth, swirling guitars and the ethereal chorus, the song is a lush mix of creativity and rhythm.

If you enjoy the caprice, check out Angèle's new album, Solo, which showcases repertoire ranging from the Baroque to Brubeck.
