[Listen] Cocaine 80's - "Like A Fool (Birdsong)"
Kanye mentor No I.D's latest project Cocaine 80's had me as soon as I heard their collaboration with fellow Chi emcee Common titled "Summer Madness." The track appeared on a free EP titled The Pursuit and also featured collaborations from Steve Wyreman, Rob Kinelski, Kevin Randolph, James Fauntleroy, Makeba, and more.
For those that haven't got enough of the group's debut EP, our friends at Prefix hit us with another song titled "Like A Fool (Birdsong)" which is a nice stripped down soul tune which is quite different with the banging production sound of the EP. Check it out in the player below.
