A particularly raw and powerful vocal performance from CeeLo on an early, perhaps unreleased, track that hints at his future soul prowess.
A moment where Danger Mouse's signature sample manipulation creates an unexpected, intricate backdrop for a guest rapper or CeeLo's vocals.
The inclusion of a track featuring Outkast or Goodie Mob, providing a direct link to CeeLo's foundational hip-hop roots.
