The Chaka Khan classic "I Know You, I Live You" gets revived and sees a brand new swing of Latin rhythm. Based upon the musical direction of Stretch and Bob and assistance by their new band The M19s, you've got a whole new reason to get down to this timeless tune. Stretch and Bob have come a long way since WKCR FM, and on their upcoming project they demonstrate their musical progression in a cool way.
Stretch and Bobbito’s debut album No Requests explores the legendary club DJs’ vast musical knowledge with covers of songs directly from their record crates!
Featuring the M19s Band, a live band of elite hand-picked musicians, the gatekeepers of ‘90s Hip Hop step outside their foundational genre base to produce Latin, Afro-beat, Samba, Jazz, Reggae, and Soul reinterpretations of dance floor bangers—ranging from popular to rare and obscure—which loosely depart expected structure and create new nuances to familiar tunes. The group also offers original compositions along the sonic journey. All tracks have one goal in mind: GROOVE!
