Last Year, he dropped an album called The Way I See It… that most definitely threw fans of his earlier work with the hit group Tony! Toni! Tone! off.

He is a singer and producer who has made great music with the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, Erykah Badu, Snoop Dogg, The Roots and the gamut continues. Saadiq isn't the first person on a lot of your minds, but the man makes some mighty fine music, that if you give a chance you may just enjoy.
