Ten years ago today D'angelo "Black Messiah" was released. The follow up to 2000's "Voodoo" it improbably lived up to the hype and cemented D's status as the keeper of the flame for a classic era of soul and funk music, but feeling fresh and contemporary. You know we need to represent "Black Messiah" by spinning a clutch of favourites including some unreleased versions and special bits. We are also blessed to have the brother Nicholas from 95bFM Friday Drive up to spin some faves and classics, and the man comes correct. Churness!
