Genius should just make a separate account for just this series and put a full team on working on just these videos and drop a video each week or just more often than they do.

The Fuzz – I Love You for All Seasons is the sample, the “sample” Dahi mentions is a cover.
Favourite producer, really special

Is he sure that’s a snare? Sounds like a clap.
