The Soulquarians were a rotating collective of experimental Black music artists active during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Members of the collective included singer and multi-instrumentalist D'Angelo, drummer and producer Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, producer J Dilla, singer-songwriter Erykah Badu, trumpeter Roy Hargrove, keyboardist James Poyser, singer Bilal, bassist Pino Palladino, rapper-producers Q-Tip and Mos Def, and rappers Talib Kweli and Common. Prior to its formation, Q-Tip, Common, Mos Def, and Talib Kweli were members of the Native Tongues collective.
I'm still exploring, but right now, I think I'm most hooked to D'Angelo's Voodoo album and one of my faves is "Chicken Grease":
As far as old school Soul goes, I think everybody needs to listen to Marvin Gaye's What's Going On album... it's an important piece of art and it just grooves throughout. My personal favorite from the album is "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)":

I half expected ya to drop some Lauryn Hill in here, granted I don't think she can be contained to just one genre, haha. Don't worry though, I got you! 🙌

So, as I noted in the opening, I've been digging into music by different musicians who are part of the collective referred to as The Soulquarians.
