Electric Relaxation (Relax Yourself Girl)

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Anchored by an incredibly smooth, mesmerizing guitar sample lifted from jazz musician Ronnie Foster, this track is a masterpiece of laid-back hip-hop production. The song famously highlights the telepathic, conversational chemistry between Q-Tip and Phife Dawg as they trade playful, romantic verses back and forth over a classic boom-bap rhythm. It stands as a definitive highlight of the Native Tongues era, perfectly encapsulating the sophisticated coolness of 1990s jazz rap.
