AOI: Bionix
De La Soul
2001
AOI: Bionix is an album about growing up without giving up interspersed with various scenes led by the fictional Reverend Do Good.
The final Reverend Do Good skit acts as one final advertisement for Ghost Weed as heard on De La Soul’s previous album, Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump. A mischievous teenager takes a hit of the substance, then morphs into Slum Village frontman J Dilla, who provides the intro and outro to the marijuana-themed song “Peer Pressure” (which he also produced).
