Terrace Martin – Crenshaw Motel (ft. Ill Camille) (produced by 9th Wonder).

Producer that he is, Terrace Martin usually leaves the rapping to his more talented guests, but he reveals some thus far unheard skills on “Crenshaw Motel.” The simple beat by the often forgettable 9th Wonder sounds great in the hands of capable rappers with a layer of live instrumentation flourishes. I love when songs seamlessly take the form of a conversation. Terrace Martin and Ill Camille (who flows even better than he does) make plans for a night out in Compton and of course, Terrace’s sax makes an appearance.
