Leftys 23

Based on one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite Funk groups. Kool & The Gang were a completely different group in the early 70s than they were in the 80s. A Horn heavy, breakbeat laden, Jazz Funk Soul outfit.  Their track "N.T." is probably the closest they came to a wandering, jam band type song, with the entire horn section getting a chance to breathe. With the kicker being the heavily sampled drum break that appears towards the song's end. Dilla flipped this break lovely on Q-Tip's "Breathe and Stop" and this remix cribs a bit from his version and peppers in a healthy dose of those boombastic K&G horns. Enjoy!

Yuki "Ukey" Kanesaka is the keyboardist featured on my lp " On my way " ... he also released a project called "Monolog", a collection of hip hop songs done in his style. Yuki played every instrument on this project as well as getting Ahmad Jamals piano tuner on deck. . Shout to the homie Caserta.

<i>"Rumors of Royalty is an album that links my American roots to the African diaspora.  Soul, Funk, Gospel, Miami bass, Hip Hop and R&B have had a major impact on my life.  As a native of St. Petersburg, Florida and a long time resident of Brooklyn, NY, I wanted this album to reflect these various influences. The Boom Bap is a perfect reflection of the melting pot of styles."</i>

ClassicBeatz - The Boom Bap (feat. Fresh Daily & Black Spade)

Track 8 dwele grown

In the closing months of 2012 BBE label artist Chris Read was enlisted by classic Los Angeles imprint Delicious Vinyl to produce a mixtape for Wax Poetics magazine celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the release of The Pharcyde's seminal debut LP 'Bizarre Ride'. The resulting mix was a runaway success clocking tens of thousands of plays online and kickstarted a relationship with the label that would go on to see Chris remix two of the group's best loved tracks, 'Runnin' and 'Passin Me By'.

Those tracks are now available for the first time on this limited edition BBE x Delicious Vinyl double vinyl 7inch release. Treating the familiar original with respect, Chris has called upon the vocal talents of long time collaborators Lizzy Parks (Tru Thoughts) and guitarist Giles Barratt (Breakin Bread) to rework passages from 'Runnin' to create a 2014 update on the themes of the much loved Jay Dee produced classic. 'Passin Me By' meanwhile gets a '90s throwback rework utilising sample material from the original to great effect to create a track which bears all the hallmarks of the golden era.
Mastered and cut by Walter Coelho who cut Jay Dee's 'Welcome to Detroit' back in 2001, the circle is complete!
