song filter - slow hip hop
March 11, 2016 8:02 PM   Subscribe

Underground-sounding hip hop song by a black male artist. If I remember correctly, most of the song is him talking to the very simple beat. Relatively slow song, with him talking/asking questions (in a lyrical, conversational way) 6-8 syllables at a time. Probably early 2000's. I don't think it was super underground since I heard it in the gym recently.

In the song, I think he is talking to his lady lover, questioning if they should be together. Smooth, clear voice, with many of the lines ending in an uptalk.

Help! Thanks!

Sounds like an Atmosphere track.

Possibly, "Do You" by Ne-Yo, great song.

Can't believe I didn't remember the female vocals. Thanks for all the great suggestions.
