In 1994 Saafir The Saucy Nomad instilled his left coast accent and off beat left field flow on his debut single "Light Sleeper." The single was soon followed by his heavily slept on album "Boxcar Sessions" Critically acclaimed "Boxcar Sessions" received poor sales, yet years later has been a heavily sought after cd on amazon and ebay. Currently Saafir and his crew Hobo Junction continue to release product on the independent side of things. The last 20 seconds of the video version features "Battle Drill." "Light Sleeper" is produced by in house Hobo Junction producer Jay-Z(in 94' the rapper with the same name hadn't blown up yet.)

Is it just me or is there some kind of eerie vibe to this track? I'm talking about the kind of vibe you get when that song from The Never Ending Story movie starts playing at the end.
