I heard it on someone’s radio outside. It was ostensibly a rap song, but it had a lot of beautiful melodic stuff going on. Some of it was Middle-Eastern flavored.

The only scrap of lyric I could hear was a kind of refrain that went, “one summer…”

(note: it was not “one summer’s day” by Spirited Away.)

The station was KMEL. I called their studio line, but no one answered.

Thanks!

You can check their setlist here: [http://kmel.iheart.com/music/recently-played/](http://kmel.iheart.com/music/recently-played/). It has the time each song was played, if you know that.

Failing that, maybe \*\*Gordon Urquhart \*\*will come in and ID the song, like he did thrice in the same day earlier this week.
