NIN, Isaac Hayes, Ministry, Barry White, Adrian Sherwood, Sade, Yello, Portishead, Kraftwerk, The Chicago-area Blues roots and history and Maxwell Street.
Ok since you wanted to ask, I'm going to tell. I love the sounds, however my professional A&R skills lead me to be very candid. On Holla, not to be confused with what you're saying "Holler" I feel the Barry White-isk flow, but feel like you could transend that a lot more. Knowing you perhaps the studio time was rushed, but if anyone can potentially pull off "being BW", its likely Big Man. So pull it together and make a dash for his torch. Just do it. Then hit your boy!
Much love.
