Andrew Funk B レコード& CD

Review: Jungle Scratch's latest release JS002 is a vinyl-only 12" that hits all the right notes for beat lovers and turntablists. This time, they've taken Hemp Gru's 'This is it' and reworked it with contributions from Cheeba and Sabot, adding their own flavours to the beat. DJ Cent, DJ Vazee, DJ Chmielix, and MAD are on hand with cuts and scratches, giving the tracks that raw, live feel. As a bonus, Mad & Tuse have included a special track made just for turntablists, adding even more value to the release. Each copy also comes with limited edition stickers, and Tuse's artwork rounds off the package, making JS002 a must-have for collectors and scratch enthusiasts alike.

Review: Smif-N-Wessun, the veteran Brooklyn rap duo, deliver a poignant reminder of their lyrical prowess - a collaboration with the late Sean Price. This track captures some of Price's final verses and proves to be a fitting tribute to his raw, uncompromising style. Over a hard-hitting beat crafted by Amazing Maze, Tek and Steele trade verses with the Ruckus Man, their flows as sharp and potent as ever. Price's presence is undeniable, his gruff voice and gritty lyrics cutting through the mix with a ferocity that will be sorely missed. DJ Danetic's cuts add another layer of dynamism, weaving seamlessly between the verses and enhancing the track's raw energy. The B-side instrumental offers a chance to appreciate the depth of Amazing Maze's production, a head-nodding blend of boom-bap drums and soulful samples. Danetic's cuts take centre stage here, showcasing his technical skills and adding a playful touch to the otherwise hard-hitting track. This release is a collection item for fans of classic hip-hop, a reminder of Smif-N-Wessun's everlasting legacy and a fitting tribute to the late, great Sean Price.

Review: Stylistic Murder Records is back with a special new release that features the legendary Smif-N-Wessun as well as the late Sean Price, whose final verses, captured during his last ever recording sessions, add real gravitas. The stone cold classic, vibe-drenched 'All Time Great' has drums and beats made by Amazing Maze, with extra cuts by DJ Danetic layered in next to dreamy pads and warm, lazy bass. This is golden-era boom bap with a heart-wrenching sense of soul, not least because of it being the last work of the great Sean Price.
