This funky track came out last year on the Peace Island compilation. It's another hip hop song that didn't reach as big an audience as it should have. Like "What I Do" and "Pedal Pusher", the production on this track makes it. There's a great sample of a funk guitar lick and that alone makes me want to keep their Myspace page open in a separate browser window all damn day.

AoH's label (Arts & Crafts) made the raw tracks for this song available for download and held a remix contest. Toronto's Circle Research submitted this hip hop jam and it took first place. It was officially released on the song's single. Pretty cool stuff. Can I point out that the original version is also mentioned in our Top 5 Pop/Rock Tunes section?
