If “Count To Five” didn’t let you know we luhdekids, then this should certainly push it over the top.

Performed by Daveed Diggs
Written by Phonte & Daveed Diggs
Drums by AbJo

I definitely wasn’t expecting to wake up this morning and watch one of my favorite bands of all-time, The Roots, playing jams that Phonte and I wrote …but here we are. They ran “That Ain’t Right” and “Vicki, Is the Water Warm Enough” in this 5-song medley of Sherman’s Showcase tunes. Y’all enjoy!
If you happened to hear a familiar jam on Season 7: Episode 2 of Queen Sugar last week, you may have been hearing “Say How You Feel” (feat. Phonte & Carlitta Durand) (from SunStorm) make its television debut! Yes, yes!!
