Single: Gift Of Gab - El Gifto Magnifico




New ish' from Blackalicious lead man Gift Of Gab that is all too funky....

Utilizing a dope Latin-inspired arrangement Gift goes in and flips out lyrically. Really liked how he finessed that chorus too....Glad someone is showing some love to Latin sounding beats again...I remember for a second in the late 90's it seemed like everyone had at least one Cha Cha or Salsa beat on they record, but then that practice started fading away. Maybe it was because in many cases the result was either really good (Sheek & Pun's "Pina Colada" & Eve's "What Ya'll Niggas Want") or really bad and damn near un-listenable (Cuban Link & Pink's "Play How You Want")....

"El Gifto Magnifico" is the first single off Gift's new album "Escape From Mars" (pictured) that drops in October and will feature Brother Ali and Del....It's also Purehip-hop's single of the weekend!
