Artist Bio: Weedie Braimah is widely regarded as the premiere voice of the Djembe.

Utilizing his amazing speed and dexterity, breathtaking skill, and breadth of knowledge, he ushers listeners through a rhythmic journey of Africa and the Diaspora. As Offbeat Magazine noted, his “skill at adapting to an array of styles” has made him an original and in-demand talent.

Braimah descends from a long lineage of drummers/composers, which includes his mother, Ann Morris, a respected Jazz drummer, his father, Oscar Sulley Braimah, a world-renowned composer and master drummer, and great-uncle, Jazz drumming icon, Idris Muhammad.

New Music: Chance The Rapper feat. Big Sean, Jeremih & Smino – 'Living Single' (Prod. Cam O’Bi)

A few hours ago, Jeremih surprised fans with the release of his Late Nights: Europe mixtape. It came with 14 tracks, named after each city visited on his recent tour, with features from Ty Dolla $ign, The Game, and more. There was talk of Chance the Rapper making an appearance, but things didn't turn out that way. Fortunately, because the Internet is the greatest thing ever, we're still hit with a collaboration between the two. And if that wasn't enough, Big Sean, Smino and the overlook talents of Cam O'bi are also involved in the near five-minute jam. Originally recording for Coloring Book, "Living Single" was left off Chance's latest gospel for one reason or another. Either way, you can now hear the song below. And yes, for my fellow old heads out there, the song does flip the theme song to the classic 90's sitcom of the same name. - (via 2Dope)

Props to Shake!
