Droop-E has been quietly killing the beatmaker game. On the low, he's
contributed several gems to E-40's (his dad) past few releases and also
put out a mixtape of his own where he flipped all Sade samples.

In anticipation of his upcoming EP Hungry and Humble, he has joined forces with
fellow Bay Area brethren J. Stalin and bedroom dream pop siren Nite Jewel.
Its encouraging seeing rappers continue this new trend of collaborating with
non R&B/less conventional singers. Big Boi got up with Phantogram and
Little Dragon, Danny Brown is going to be heard soon with Purity Ring.
Nite Jewel turns up with a smooth hook that complements the beat which
is a laid back knocker with UFO synth squiggles, naughty xylophones,
heavily reverbed chord stabs and a Jeep-ready bassline.
The video is slick, depicting a 1930s Bay Area scene, drenched in hazy
light, cigar smoke and muted colors. Everything is old school swank,
everyone moves in slow motion.
Of course, E-40 shows up.
