Damon Albarn has taken fans many places on his almost twenty years of musicianship.  I can also say that as a musician myself, he frustrates me to no end, because I can hardly begin to imagine how a person can possess the same amount of creativity and direction he does.  From Blur to “The Good, The Bad, and The Queen”, and his solo work, Albarn likes to switch up his musical and conceptual direction, and the project, Gorillaz, might be the single most important part of his career in that respect.  But this isn’t about that, it’s about the newest release under the Gorillaz name, “Plastic Beach”.

Ride out the album review with one of the tracks from the album:

This is your Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve. We will try to bring you one “chill” track every day. This is for when you get home and you are trying to unwind. You reach for that glass of wine or that unlit Black & Mild or maybe you reach for something more herbal. This track is for those times. We will try to bring you at least one a day. We are just your milkmen and I’m here to make a delivery. Chill…..

Today’s delivery is brought to you by Stephen Marley & Mos Def. How can you go wrong with this type of collaboration? Honestly this track was destined to be a classic right when these guys decided to do a song together. This song is from Stephen’s 2007 debut album called Mind Control and the track is called “Hey Baby”. Tracks like this are what inspired me to do such a thing as a “Daily 2%” in the first place so check out the track and chill…
