Boots Riley

So I'm taking a big risk with this one, because in all liklihood you have already heard of and appreciate Boots Riley of East Bay fame under the alias, The Coup...AND this album came out years ago, BUT...

but, my friends, I bring him into this collection because I was recently at a jam session holiday party extravaganza at the house of Rupa from the band Rupa and the April Fishes (you may have heard of them also), and to my appreciative surprise, Boots Riley waltzes in to join our merry music making, he even freestyled over my marracas, and i mean that in the least sexual way.

So here you go, my favorite song from The Coup's album, Pick a Bigger Weapon...It's called Laugh/Love/Fuck, three of my dearest wishes for all of you in the new year!
