DJ Norm Rocwell: The escape(ism) Sampler

Our good homie DJ Norm Rocwell has put together a dope little sampler from his upcoming mixtape Escape(ism). On first listen, I was digging it. But then Norm sent me the entire mix and I was blown away - song selection, mix, and arrangement were on point. As he put it on his blog, Escape(ism) is an "aural journey into nujazz, upbeat soul, afrolatin vibes, and good ol' hip hop."
