Raphael Saadiq – Seven

raphael-saadiq1

“seven” is an unreleased saadiq track recorded during “the way i see it” sessions. the tune now appears on the FYE store version of the record. what a GREAT song. “the way i see it” was one of the best records of 2008 and “seven” easily could’ve been on it. we’ve been bumping the shit out of “seven” the last few days here at b3sci HQ, we’re pretty sure you’ll be doing the same after you push play.
