It Runs Through Me

Tom Misch, 2018. Solo by Tom Misch.

Misch's clean, jazz-inflected guitar lines interlock with De La Soul's verse over a laid-back groove.

It Runs Through Me, from Geography, features De La Soul, and Tom Misch's clean, jazz-inflected guitar lines interlock with the rap verse over a laid-back groove. His playing is smooth and melodic, blending jazz chords with soulful single-note lines. The guitar adds a bright, fluid layer to the track, keeping it grounded in groove while offering harmonic richness. It shows Misch's ability to bridge jazz, hip-hop and soul. Listen for how his lines weave between the vocal phrases, and how the guitar tone stays warm and clear, supporting the song's easygoing vibe without ever overshadowing the rap or the rhythm section.
