Tall Black Guy - "Make Life Better" (Nights Over Egypt Re-Blap Up)

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Tall Black Guy returns fresh off of a great showing on +FE Music: The Reworks with his own take on a certified jam with "Make Life Better" (Nights Over Egypt Re-Blap Up). The track is a great re-work of "Nights Over Egypt" by The Jones Girls that mashes the melody of the original with an r&b makeover of the classic by singer Faith Evans - TBG taps a portion of Evans' hook for the theme and title of this joint. What you get is a stripped down blap-synth rendition of the original peppered with a slightly screwed slice of Evans' honeyed vocal on the slowed down dance track. Straight dope.
