(harmonic) Ghetto Cowboy by Mo Thugs Family

Harmonica has had a presence in hip hop for a while, but it has always been a sporadic one. The unpredictable,   here-now-gone-tomorrow presence does not, however, diminish the beauty of the songs that do come out.

The Cleveland-based Mo Thugs Family  and its sister Bone Thugs n' Harmony have been the stalwarts of hip hop harmonica, and their best-selling single thus far, Ghetto Cowboy, with is delightfully lighthearted throwback tone is a perfect song to spotlight.

Thanks to Matt for introducing me to this band.

Yeehaw. I
