tbt: Big Monk - Givenchy

It’s Tuesday, so I’m gonna throw it back for a second. Big Monk dropped “Givenchy” almost two years ago, and it’s made a recent plunge into my listening cycle. Everyone loves the classic “life’s a bitch and then you die” - Monk samples Nas and AZ well on this track, adding a jazzy, blues feel to the classic. The bars come through as well, and the storytelling of life experiences and dreams is more than fitting as it relates to the sample. If this was his debut single, you (and I) would be a fool not to explore the music he’s put out since then. Plus, he puts together the beats, along with writing the raps, himself. Stream “Givenchy” below for your pleasure.
