Here's an oldie but goody from Detroit R&B crooner Dwele. He's been featured recently on Kanye's "Flashing Lights" and Common's "The People" singing hooks--which makes you think that Chicago MC's have a soft spot for him. A lot of the love he gets from the hip-hop community has more to do with his strong singing ability, sleepy falsetto, and his connection to the late great J Dilla.

Dwele's been existing on the fringes of neo-soul super stardom for a few years now and here's the track that really got his career moving forward.
