Skull Snaps's legacy isn't defined by a prolific catalogue or the longevity of their career. In fact, this album from 1973 is the group's only album, yet it was enough to earn them a place as one of the more mysterious and fascinating funk ensembles of the era. Previously known as The Diplomats, they became Skull Snaps after several notable releases (including �She's The One�), and their self-titled album is nine tracks of gruff, unpolished vocals, crisp drums and driving pace that hasn't diminished with age. �I'm Your Pimp� echoes the jazz-funk fusion sound of Blaxploitation cinema, while the single �Snapped� is fueled by a tough horn break. But the real jewel here is �It's A New Day�, the group's signature song, with an unmistakable opening drum break that has become a staple ingredient of hip hop cuts by Ol� Dirty Bastard, Das EFX, Eric B. & Rakim, Digable Planets, DJ Shadow and countless others. This much-bootlegged lost classic album is now available as an official special edition double LP in deluxe paste-on gatefold packaging, with a sheet of die cut stickers and a giant 24� x 24� poster of the original album art.
