Olu Dara, a guitarist, cornet player (is there a word for this? Cornetist?), and father to Nas.
While he’s definitely been eclipsed by his son in terms of fame and fortune, that’s no indication of his talent and spirit.
Neighborhoods was Dara’s sophomore album and one heavily influenced by god.
Posting up a few songs by him and his son’s song “life’s a bitch”. Dara played cornet on it at the end and its interesting to think about what talks the two might have together. What their relationship is like and how the teach each other.

Olu Dara – Strange Things Happen Everyday

Olu Dara – Herbman

Olu Dara – Used To Be

Love the intonation he puts on “foxy” in the first line.

Nas – Life’s a Bitch
