Dope track. Dooooope dancehall track! Bet money in any current currency that if you ride out and pull up with this bumping out your speakers, any attention you get will be the right attention. Smooth overall, with rough elements and an indescribable ‘night life’ feel to it. Popcaan got another one with this “Nah Idle” (visuals above).

Accidental Courtesy: Daryl Davis, Race & America (Festival Trailer)
December 27, 2016
I never set out to convert anybody. In my quest, some of them ended up converting themselves.
– Daryl Davis
So, go on and plan on watching the trailer above TWICE, because the first run will likely leave you breathless. This is the award-winning documentary about a Black musician, Daryl Davis, who befriends and engages members of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacists in an extended dialog about race, hate, and how we can get past it. Turns out this all started as a bold an simple measure to get the KKK’s answer to this question: “How can you hate me if you don’t even know me?”
(Davis’ dialogs with Klan members have been so powerful that several members ultimately left the organization. You MUST watch!)
“Accidental Courtesy: Daryl Davis, Race & America” comes to PBS on February 13, 2017.
