Always good to hear old school music back in the mix. Especially coming from one of the pioneers of real hip-hop, De La Soul. Bobby C doing good work to this classic, putting out the funk to the already funky, rockin' the instrumentals more than ever. Although changing the track's genre a bit but not disrespecting it's entirety only making it more dance floor friendly. Certified funky tune by A.N.T.
I came across this article and the album art looked really familiar so I decided to scan and listen-in. Turns out, it was worth it. Funky horns and sick rhymes? C'mon! What could possibly be wrong about that?!
"What do you get when you put together afrobeat legend Fela Kuti and rap pioneers De La Soul? You get Fela Soul; a musicaltapestry created by Gummy Soul artist Amerigo Gazaway. More than just a clever title, Fela Soul is an 8-track, 33 minute journey into the world of afrobeat rhythms, funky horn riffs, and classichip-hop gems. Using dozens of hand-picked samples from the Nigerian instrumentalist and political figure Fela Kuti, and 8 carefully-chosen acapellas from the Native Tongue rap trio De La Soul, Amerigo seamlessly intertwines the two into something completely new and original."
