Departing from the highly acclaimed "Wyred Folk" EP debut on Equinox, this new release by UK producer 2econd Class Citizen bridges the way to his forthcoming album "Madrugada" (due out in fall 2009) and includes 5 great new tracks: 2 special EP mixes, a non-album tune and 2 exclusive instrumental versions. Focusing on sample based instrumental music on his previous works, the
"One By One EP" now features
the vocal talents of Ceschi Ramos (known
of his works with west coast underground legends Myka 9, Pigeon John,
Busdriver and 2Mex), Reindeer (of Fbcfabric
& Reindeer) and James pHoney (of
Milled Pavement). The title track is a hip hop, folk tinged masterpiece
with Ceschi showcasing his inimitable
style, switching effortlessly between stunningly beautiful harmonies and
ridiculously good rapping. "For This We'll
Find No End" finds the two rappers/wordsmiths Reindeer
&
J. pHoney delivering their unique and totally original approach
to the English language peerlessly over 2CC's dirty drums. Next, on "The
Day You’re Lost Or Found", 2econd Class Citizen shows
once again that he is on top of the game when it comes to creating instrumental
Hip-Hop with deepness and power. Reminiscent of the vibe on "Wyred
Folk", this track might incorporate one of the most catchy samples
ever found, built around a drumbeat and arrangement that leaves other
contemporary beat makers far behind and proves that 2econd Class Citizen
is in a class of its own. |
