CAMEO : IT'S SERIOUS

Another rip of mine lately is this. Cameo. Larry Blackmon & crew at their peak. "It's serious" is a disco funk nugget with an infectious bass line, demoniac guitar licks, infamous organ shots, and ... and ... A floor filler by vocation, a pure party track in its essence ...

Thanks to GP for reminding me of this.

THE STAPLE SINGERS : SLIPPERY PEOPLE

I was ripping this for my man Bernard who needed it and I thought I had to share this extraordinaire song from The Staple Singers. Originaly recorded by The Talking Heads, this version remains close to the original with a little "je ne sais quoi" that adds a value. Mavis Staple kills it on the vocal tip. Perfect for a dancefloor as well as for your listening pleasure.

JAZMINE SULLIVAN : JUMP OFF (PROD BY WAJEED)

Not that i'm crazy about all and every Wajeed productions but you should have heard me spinning "On a Cloud" (The mastercut from the Platinum Pied Pipers Abundance album and already a stone cold Strictly Niceness bonafied classic) about 24357 times lately ...

Wajeed hails from the D (Detroit / Mi) and is famous for his abilities to create mad sounds in his lab. This track, featuring teammate Coultrain and upcoming lady Jazmine Sullivan, is a dope song sung upon a dope beat. Oh yes ! It is not on Jazmine'a album. And again, watch the horns stabs ...
