Montell Jordan: "This Is How We Do It" (Conviviality and the Phrygian Mode with Mike V)

Update: 2025-08-16

Description

Mike V joins us to discuss this bonafide jam from 1995. We examine Montell Jordan's background and current status, analyse (and explain) the lyrics, discuss the Phrygian mode, and give an epic mixtape for the ages. We're all about conviviality here, so you can trust us when we say you will enjoy this episode: we never come whack on an old school track!
