Take - “Fall in Love Again”

Take, aka Thomas 2000, aka Thomas Wilson can be found on the lefty spectrum of hip-hop. If the likes of Kanye and Jay-Z can be considered the center (it is sad that those are the two names that came to mind), and the conservative right is anything from the bass-heavy southern rap to the Bay Area’s hyphy movement, Take dabbles with instrumental and experimental beats. On a related note: conservative rap is shaping out to be pretty shite!

While his usual stuff is akin to Flying Lotus, Daedelus, and Dabyre, this song — from his album The Dirty Decibels Of Thomas Two Thousand — is definitely leaner and toned down. It’s easy on the electro-synth and generous with traditional acoustics. The brevity of the song seems to underscore the talent - you will definitely be using the repeat function.
