10. Guru featuring Junior Reid and Prodigal Sunn “Mashin’ Up the Earth”
Guru- Jazzmatazz-Streetsoul

Guru and Junior Reid have a song together? Yep—“Mashin’ Up the Earth” was was on Guru’s somewhat forgotten third album as Jazzmatazz from 2000, Jazzmatazz StreetSoul, so we’ll forgive you if you missed it. The track features J.R. interpolating Michael Jackson’s “Earthsong” while Guru and Sunz of Man’s Prodigal Sunn commiserate over tragedy, and a stark beat with just a touch of cornet.
