If there’s one thing I can count on to lift my head out of the snowy haze that has descended upon Chicago, it’s music. And more specifically in this case, the uplifting electro-swing vibes of UK producer Odjbox and the jazzy, hip-hop jam “Made You Look” featuring Nas. Resurrecting the smokey, lounge vibes of the 40’s and 50’s, Odjbox sets the tone with a buzzing backdrop of inaudible conversations, voices eagerly awaiting the spotlight performance from the NY rapper. The piano starts rolling, the first notes bouncing lightly in the air before being chased down by the funky bassline. Nas jumps in soon after, flowing easily among the horn stabs and piano cuts, throwing down the first single from his 2002 album, God’s Son, in a way he didn’t even know he could.
