Some hip hop dating back to just before the millenium. This was actually going to be the first record I uploaded onto this blog, but I'm sure any collector out there knows that plans change when you start going through piles of records.
This is a great EP with the lead track 'Jamboree' being a trumpet led party classic. Produced by 88-Keys, he has since went on to bigger things, currently working with MTV and Kanye West.
Also worth catching on this EP is the neo soul, beat poetry of 'Dream-Birth' where Michael Abbot beats lyrical about becoming a father. Checked up on Michael Abbot and acording to discogs, the only other thing he has done is engineer a Moody Blues live album!!!Guess there must be 2 of them then.
Remember that Gilles Peterson played this at the time, which is where I initially discovered the Seven Heads material. Again, this whole era of hip hop seems to have dissapeared now. A shame....
