Wow, thanks for putting me on to this. This is basically an alternate mix of the album cut. I do prefer how dryer and more minimalist this version is. Album version sounds a lot muddier, especially at the end.
lowkey only flaw with BM, mixing is kinda mid on certain tracks, especially compared to Voodoo
Yeah, James River was allegedly supposed to be real raw like the 1000 Deaths and Really Love leaks that Quest put out online in the late aughts.
The original leak of 1000 Deaths, which was supposed to be on the scrapped James River album, sounded even more like it.
Who/what is James River??

The album D was working on after Voodoo. It technically got scrapped, but a few songs from that era made it on Black Messiah.

It was mostly rumored on music forums in the aughts, especially on Okayplayer where Questlove would post frequently. He even leaked a couple demos from those sessions after it seemed like D would never finish it. There are a few articles online though if you google it.
