What I'm Listening To: "Don't Touch Me" - Rahsaan Patterson

I'm happy to see that Rahsaan Patterson is pushing some new music! Ever since his 1998 self-titled debut, I've been a huge fan. His most current album Bleupohria was released last year, and hopefully "Don't Touch Me" is a precursor to a new project.

Enjoy!

"Today's a little different. I wrote to a track instead of piano. I have had this instrumentation for a while but had a great opportunity today so I decided to write to it , and share it with you all. I just used my Mic/ Logic/ and a little EQ and here you are.
