D.R.A.M. Connects with Rick Rubin on Psychedelic New Single "Check Ya Fabrics"

It appears Badu had it precisely right

Late last year, in the weeks that followed D.R.A.M.'s debut album, the Virginia singer caught a massive, seemingly overstated endorsement from Erykah Badu when the r&b goddess crowned him "the lovechild of ODB, George Clinton and D'Angelo." It was bold and if you didn't believe it then, you just might now.

Today, another high-powered co-sign arrives in the form of a production from Rick Rubinon the psychedelic new single "Check Ya Fabrics." A soulful suite with all of the fusion flourishes of an early Earth, Wind & Fire record, the track finds D.R.A.M. in a very blond(e)d,stream-of-consciousnessmode, dipping in and out of a cartoonish up-pitched croon, not unlike the aforementioned funk forefather.
