In this edition of “Add to Queue,” we speak with the musician sincerelyTOBi in honor of his latest single “Don’t Touch!” Below, he shares what’s on his playlists—from Outkast and Nina Simone to 50 Cent and D’Angelo.
. I’ve been listening to his album “Heaven or Hell.” I’ve been rinsing that album like crazy. If OutKast comes back to do shows, that would be a blessing for the culture.TOBi: Oh, that’s a good question. “Return of the ‘G'” is one of my favorite OutKast songs. “Skew It on the Bar-B,” “So Fresh, So Clean,” “B.O.B. – Bombs Over Baghdad,” and “Da Art of Storytellin.'” Oh man, there are so many. Of course, “Ms. Jackson.”TOBi: I know, right? Their catalog is too iconic. Oh my goodness.
TOBi: It will probably be warm soul grooves. I would be playing Ari Lennox, Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, Soulection, that kind of vibe.TOBi: For an upbeat house party, we’re cutting up. I’m going to do Don Toliver and Travis Scott. I love UK drill as well, so I’ll probably throw in some AJ Tracey. Just some hard shit to get people loose and out of their comfort zone.You don’t even need to be drunk because the music got you lifted.
TOBi: Well, I definitely smoke. My high playlist would probably sound like my dinner vibe playlist, but it would be more vintage. So I would definitely get into my super soul vibes. So, Otis Redding, Curtis Mayfield, Bobby Womack, and Nina Simone. Yeah, just vibe out and levitate.TOBi: “Thriller” because it haunted me for so long., Lauryn Hill, Jay Z. Dang, this last one is tough. You said four? Can I make it five?UKIOMOGBE: Wow, that’s an all-star dinner.
TOBi: It would make for some good conversation. There are so many, though. I wish you told me 20, but I like the five.TOBi: I don’t know if I necessarily want to be in my feelings when I’m breaking up. So it might be some hard shit, to be honest with you. Actually I’m cappin, it’s probably “21 Questions” by 50 Cent and Nate Dogg.TOBi: Man, that’s a good question. For the totality of who I am, it has to be a number of songs.TOBi: Yeah, because I’m thinking of a couple right now.
UKIOMOGBE: What’s one album that you think has zero skips? You can play it from start to finish all the way through.TOBi: There’s something about “Wesley’s Theory.” It just has me. I think maybe it’s because it’s the beginning of the album and once you step into it, there’s just no way you leave. It just sets the tone.TOBi: Talking about lyrical dexterity, I’d say Kendrick, Hov, Andre. I might have to go with Jadakiss.
