Review: If you missed this one when it first dropped in 2011, now's your chance to catch up on a serious slice of rootsy funk with some heavyweight players involved. Afrika Bambaatta teamed up with The Mighty Mocambos and Charlie Funk to record "Zulu Walk", and what a result. The groove is incredible, deep in the pocket and rolling forward with a mellow urgency that works for "Part 1" and the instrumental "Part 2" on the flip. King Kamonzi rides the beat on the A side in fine style, capturing a wild energy that wouldn't be out of place in the P-Funk pantheon. True-skool funk heads, don't sleep.
Review: We chased this man, one of our favourite producers, for over a year to get this sterling remix of one of our favourite crews. B side features Blak, who is tight on the mic.
Monsta (instrumental - feat Chamillionaire & Tum Tum)
I Know U Want That (main - feat Chamillionaire & Tum Tum)
Review: Dallas MC adds to Texas reign in hip hop with a solid debut effort. Houston's legendary & certified platinum Chamillionaire drops guest verse. Includes instrumental & acappella.
Review: A re-representation of hip-hop as art. The aspect of the music that seems to have been lost amongst the diamond and platinum fronts and chains can be found here. Blake9 produces a funky canvas on lead track "Missy Prissy", while Count's lyrics paint a portrait for listeners as he touches upon a number of topics, punctuated by a lament over decisions made early on in the game.
Review: C-SIDE, meaning 'Creative Superb Individuals Doing Entertainment',"defines who we are and what we're trying to do
musically," explains the group's resident producer/businessman, Kenny Kold. Their name symbolizes the passion for their
craft that they all share. Made up of three very talented individuals, the members of C-SIDE are Atlanta native Kenny Kold,
the talented producer of the group, (Kold previously produced hit records for the leaders of the 'snap music' movement,
platinum selling Southern rap group, Dem Franchize Boyz; Pimp C (UGK); and 12 Gauge; the quarterback of the group,
South Carolina native Bo-Q; and the sly, ladies' man, Chicago-born Gator.
'Boyfriend Girlfriend', with its carefully crafted mix of hot beats, smart lyrics, high energy, and mass appeal suggests the
sky is the only foreseeable limit for this group!
Review: Friends Cadillac Don (born Donald Sharp) and J-Money (born Tiyon Rogers) grew up in Crawford, MS, listening to blues and r&b but soon were drawn to the more aggressive nature of rap. Both attended college on baseball scholarships, but an injury sidelined J-Money from trying out for the pros, while Cadillac Don decided to take a job teaching high school art. However, both continued to rap on the side and eventually, after meeting local producer Big Fruit, decided to form a duo. Their song "Peanut Butter & Jelly" caught the attention of Asylum Records (a Warner imprint), which signed Cadillac Don & J-Money to a distribution deal in 2006 as their single continued to gain radio play.
