Suite for Ma Dukes "Find a Way"

So, essentially what this is is a 30-piece orchestra that's got an EP out and is doing a performance of Dilla tracks to raise money for mother Yancey who's not doing well. Sounds good. Props to all these Dilla posts today as well.

This is the second leak off of Focus's Homage mixtape. Not too bad.
