1. ‘Energy’ by Raheem DeVaughn featuring Big Boi (Jive) 
This is straight-up hip hop with class – back-to-basics R&B. Raheem DeVaughn is soulful. It’s mature, classic hip hop that isn’t boring – it’s cool and subtle. 

2. ‘Ignorant Sh*t’ by Jay-Z (Roc-A-Fella) 
No one can doubt Jay-Z. This song is a sure shot – either way, you can play it from underground to overground and it’s still hot. 

3. ‘Healer’ by Erykah Badu (Motown) 
This is definitely good stuff to play early in the night. It’s proper soul music. Badu never fails. Plus there’s a shout-out to [the late] J Dilla.

4. ‘Fake ID’ by James Nasty (Club City) 
Stop being so serious and get loose to James Nasty. This is the kind of stuff coming out of Baltimore that’s really popular but still manages to break all the rules.

5. ‘I’m Ready’ by Kano (Emergency) 
Bring on the old-school electro.
