"Hoodrats," released in 2003 on the label PAYOLA, which was also run by DJD (Dominic Dawson). This hypnotic UK tech house track, which seems to speak directly to the listener, samples the spoken-word piece “Black Messiah” from *Neo Black Women in Poetry* by Amirh Bahati, China Clark, and Jo-Anne McKnight—a piece that Nujabes also sampled. The original is a timeless classic that now commands a price tag of over 10,000 yen. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
