Description

Hip-hop’s Jamaican roots reach back to the moment JA expat Clive “Kool Herc” Campbell dropped a few break laden big tunes in his Morris Heights, BX high rise’s community room back in the summer of ’73. But as formal fusions of rap and dancehall go few recordings have set NYC’s streets alight like those that commenced in 1993 via Boogie Down Productions t’cha in residence KRS-One and his gruff-voiced bad man discovery Mad Lion. A gun-talk anthem equally infectious as reckless, “Shoot to Kill” set the template for this inspired team, Lion roaring affections to his firearms in a Mary J. Blige cadence over BDP’s “Black Cop” instrumental. Its KRS-produced ’94 follow-up “Take It Easy” was more slyly menacing, Lion’s rude bwoy stance abetted by ghostly chorus vocals digitally darting around a Yami Bolo sample freed from its original Stalag rhythm. “Double Trouble” and “Carpenter” were similarly bad to di bone, while “Real Lover” (another Mary homage) found Lion briefly breaking from the glock talk, going Uptown (Records) in a rub-a-dub style. Taken together these tracks remain vital – both as everlasting party grooves and documents of a standard setting era for dancehall’s boom-baptism.

The original master files for this record had been lost in the Universal archives, and the masters that were available were for the album versions that appeared on Eric B. \u0026amp; Rakim’s ‘Paid In Full’ (1987). Unfortunately, those versions are 6+ minutes and far too long to cut a 45. This led KU founder and label head to go back to his roots and do some record digging of his own. He was able to find a brand new copy of the original 45 on Discogs, and made the move to purchase it to have a high-quality audio restoration from the vinyl transferred into digital files to then be cut to lacquer. After acquiring the original version of the 45 it was discovered that the versions on the 45 were just the 12” single versions but faded out to make them fit on a 45. It took over a year to sort this all out, which included having Danny Roth Designs recreate the original 4th and Broadway labels, which the major label also no longer had.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-05-31T18:57:30-04:00","created_at":"2021-12-24T09:04:01-05:00","vendor":"Kay-Dee Records","type":"45's - 7inches","tags":["\u0026 Friends","45","45's","45friday","45s7inch","4th \u0026 B'way","4th \u0026 Broadway","7inch","Eric B \u0026 Rakim","Hip Hop 45","limited edition","Marley Marl","Queensbridge","Rakim"],"price":2000,"price_min":2000,"price_max":2000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42208101040340,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"#804 Eric B.

The original master files for this record had been lost in the Universal archives, and the masters that were available were for the album versions that appeared on Eric B. \u0026amp; Rakim’s ‘Paid In Full’ (1987). Unfortunately, those versions are 6+ minutes and far too long to cut a 45. This led KU founder and label head to go back to his roots and do some record digging of his own. He was able to find a brand new copy of the original 45 on Discogs, and made the move to purchase it to have a high-quality audio restoration from the vinyl transferred into digital files to then be cut to lacquer. After acquiring the original version of the 45 it was discovered that the versions on the 45 were just the 12” single versions but faded out to make them fit on a 45.

But that doesn't do justice to his hard work and carefully crafted reinterpretations of music by A Tribe Called Quest, Madvillain, Mos Def \u0026amp; others. The newest addition: not one but two 45s around Jay Dee a.k.a. J Dilla.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Amsterdam-based keyboardist\/producer takes on 'Let's Ride' (Q-Tip) and 'Runnin' (The Pharcyde) on the first donut. The other 45 contains a medley of 'The Official' (Jaylib) and 'Fall In Love' (Slum Village), and two unsung Jay Dee beats: 'Still Shining,' as produced for Busta Rhymes, which has never seen the light of day as an instrumental. Another never-before-released Jay Dee beat is 'Feelin' Good', an essential case of Dilla's unparalleled ear for swing. Sidetrack: look up the Bling47 Breaks video later with House Shoes's story on giving Jay Dee the Frank Cunimondo Trio record, with a VHS video of T3 and Baatin going crazy in Detroit's The Shelter to Jay Dee's 'Feelin' Good' flip. Pure gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Detroit visionary reimagined 'groove' and sampling. On his turn, Soul Supreme takes on Dilla's timing, rhythms, and harmonies. Think of how in the final part of \"Runnin',\" the keys start to follow the well-hidden, heavily filtered sample on The Pharcyde's original, instead of the main melody. Or how there's punch to J-Zone's drumming on \"Let's Ride\" as there's punch to the MPC3000. How Jonny Murray improvises on trumpet rather than replaying the sample. The marriage of Rhodes and synths on \"Fall In Love\" resemble Soul Supreme's trademark sound as showcased on last year's self-titled LP.

But that doesn't do justice to his hard work and carefully crafted reinterpretations of music by A Tribe Called Quest, Madvillain, Mos Def \u0026amp; others. The newest addition: not one but two 45s around Jay Dee a.k.a. J Dilla.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Amsterdam-based keyboardist\/producer takes on 'Let's Ride' (Q-Tip) and 'Runnin' (The Pharcyde) on the first donut. The other 45 contains a medley of 'The Official' (Jaylib) and 'Fall In Love' (Slum Village), and two unsung Jay Dee beats: 'Still Shining,' as produced for Busta Rhymes, which has never seen the light of day as an instrumental. Another never-before-released Jay Dee beat is 'Feelin' Good', an essential case of Dilla's unparalleled ear for swing. Sidetrack: look up the Bling47 Breaks video later with House Shoes's story on giving Jay Dee the Frank Cunimondo Trio record, with a VHS video of T3 and Baatin going crazy in Detroit's The Shelter to Jay Dee's 'Feelin' Good' flip.

Think of how in the final part of \"Runnin',\" the keys start to follow the well-hidden, heavily filtered sample on The Pharcyde's original, instead of the main melody. Or how there's punch to J-Zone's drumming on \"Let's Ride\" as there's punch to the MPC3000. How Jonny Murray improvises on trumpet rather than replaying the sample. The marriage of Rhodes and synths on \"Fall In Love\" resemble Soul Supreme's trademark sound as showcased on last year's self-titled LP.
