Fader have the premiere of a tune put together by the low-key group Chauffeur, consisting of Mark Ronson, Sam Sparro & Theophilus London. It was actually put together for the launch of the aforementioned Mr Ronsons boat-sneaker collab with Gucci at their Icon-Temporary pop-up stores. Keep your ear to the ground for more…as they only currently have one song.

This is probably my favorite section from a movie so I thought I’d share this with you. The film is called Ghostdog and it is well worth checking out if your a fan of hip hop, forest whitaker, the way of the samurai and hagakure.

Plus, this beat is f**ing amazing, enjoy:

Track: Killah Priest, From then till now
