Psychedelic funk, jazz and rock covers of Pete Rock’s Greatest Tracks from MF Doom’s go-to instrumentalist, Includes Pete Rock and CL Smooth classics, “T.R.O.Y.”, “Straighten It Out”, Public Enemy’s “Shut ‘Em Down”, Nas’s “The World Is Yours” and more
Mr. Chop, the multi-talented producer, engineer, and
guitar-reared multi-instrumentalist behind a host of releases
on Now-Again and Jazzman Records, couldn’t have foretold
that the legendary rapper MF Doom would call him “the illest
to grace the boards” after tapping into his otherworldly skills
as co-producer/co-writer on a series of tracks on the recently
released Born Like This album on Lex Records. Nor could he
have foretold that Doom’s praise would lead to an offer to
rework psych funk, jazz and rock covers of producer Pete
Rock’s greatest beats.
Nor could he have called that Pete Rock’s long time collaborator,
CL Smooth, upon hearing the versions of “T.R.O.Y.” and
“Straighten It Out” would beg to record an album with him.
His is a unique take and has lead to an album that “the heads”
will recognize by, say, the Tom Scott sax-line Pete Rock
poached for “T.R.O.Y.,” or a host of other sample-based calls
and response that Chop has deconstructed into their
component parts and reassembled again. But his is an album
that will appeal to music lovers, regardless of their musical
leaning, as a master-class in fuzzy, funky grooves.
