Super-underrated emcee/beatmaker Count Bass D kinda-sorta goes back to his roots on “Up and Down”, one of a couple collaborations he’s done with Glows in the Dark, a Virginia-based “avant-garde” Jazz group.
The song, with acoustic guitar, walking bass, and percussion backing up Bass D’s conversational rhymes, is real chill, as are the visuals, which were shot by group member Scott Burton on a recent trip to Bali, Indonesia.
Both Count Bass D and John Robinson, the artist formerly known as Lil’ Sci of Scienz of Life, make appearances alongside Glows in the Dark’s jazzy stylings on their album/EP ‘Research and Development’.
