What the drums do
A tight funk groove with a clipped snare, the kick locked to the bass and a hi-hat that barely opens. .Paak plays this one singing, which is the reminder that the part has to be automatic before the vocal goes on top.
Intermediate: Needs independence, a feel, or fills you have to learn.
