MUHSINAH - Always (Smile)


MUHSINAH - Always (Smile) (All City Ireland) Comentários: All City deliver a steaming hot plate displaying the vocal excellence of Muhsinah atop beats from 00Genesis and the mighty Flying Lotus. If you do the whole beats thing you're no doubt familiar with the warm soul breeze of her vocal cords. They've graced tunes for everyone from Mike Slott to Common and many more still. With 'Always (Smile)' she sends out a message of positivity set to reconfigured bossa grooves in stumbling nu-skool style before really killing it on 'Lose My Fuse'. Fly lo beautifully highlights her vocals with a bluesy astrosoul beat which eventually dissipates only to come back in with a naked rimshot rhythm and heavenly harmonised vocals. It's worth it for this moment alone. Lovely stuff - limited copies. in boomkat [Para Ouvir/Samples]

VA - Droppin Science - Greatest Samples From The Blue Note Lab

VA - Droppin Science - Greatest Samples From The Blue Note Lab (Blue Note) Comentários: At least in its presentation, Droppin' Science: Greatest Samples From the Blue Note Lab suggests yet another appeal to hip-hop genealogists, the kind of people who obsess over The-Breaks.com and are diligent readers of Oliver Wang's blog . But this is not your run-of-the-mill "roots of rap" or "best breakbeats" compilation, and not just because you won't find "Impeach the President" (which has been, according to The-Breaks, sampled in 116 different rap songs) or James Brown's "Funky Drummer" (181 songs). A few songs on the album have been tapped for use only once, and more than half of these songs bear relevance solely to the early-'90s conscious-rap movement and groups like De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. The people who put together the compilation seem to be aware that the greatest samples often don't come from the greatest song...
