J.Rawls and John Robinson – It’s Jay Are
Two of hip-hop’s finest, and most under-exposed (in my opinion) collaborate on this track which has a real nice dusty jazz vibe. John Robinson is on the vocals and J Rawls taking care of production.This is taken from their album The 1960′s Jazz Revolution Again… which I believe is a Japan-only release. Do some homework...
