What I'm Listening To - 4/25/2008

So what's in my car stereo these days?:

Camp Lo - Black Hollywood
- if I told you the phrase "...we be sippin' Amaretta...", you would know I was talking about Sonny Cheeba & Geechi Suede. Their album "Uptown Saturday Night" was hott in 1997. They've done a couple of other things since then, but now they're back with their latest, "Black Hollywood".

The tracks to check out:

#1 - Posse From the Bronx (that stutter effect is clever)
#4 - Pushahoe (the hook is crass, but the beat is sweet)
#5 - Suga Willie's Revenge (I'm feeling that flute)

Don't Sleep On ... "Break Glass"

Polyrhythm Addicts - Not only do they have a great sound, they got my boy Pharoahe Monch on a track, and Large Professor as well. Plus, their female lyricist Pheonix got skillz. Check out these lyrics on the "Smash" track:

"The name is Pheonix
the frame is Serena's
I changed the game for chicks
like Diddy changed the remix..."

Try before you Buy

When I saw the new ProdigyFX online, I just knew I had to had. Seemed like it had everything I would need.

Then I got a close-up hands-on look at it in Guitar Center - that thing is small! At least smaller than my current setup, and smaller than it looked online. And some of the buttons on it seem a tad bit useless. Hmmm. Glad I was able to try before I buy...

So, what's in my car stereo these days?:

Raheem Devaughn - Love Behind the Melody
- I predict "Friday" will become a new dance classic

Algebra
- Y'all betta recognize! "At This Time" is the groove!

Jazzy Jeff, Hip Hop Forever Vol. 2
- Every few weeks vol 2 or vol 3 makes it back in rotation. And I jam to it like I'm hearing his mixes for the first time! I'm light-weight studying his technique.
