DJ Burn One’s work with iNDEED reminds me of Norman Whitfield and The Undisputed Truth. I wouldn’t take the comparison as far as labeling their work as ‘psychadelic country rap tunes’, its more like Burn One and his band use off kilter arrangements and production touches to experiment within the confines of an often formulaic subgenre, thereby tentatively expanding its boundaries. The result is country rap tempered with etherial, vaguely ‘jammy’ overtones that still mantains the harder edged core elements of its origins. Which is more or less what Whitfield and The Undisputed Truth did with soul during their time at Motown. See the two iNDEED features on the Joints mixtape for further evidence.

iNDEED – No Reggie Bush Ft. KD (Prod. By DJ Burn One)

Everyone who talks about this album will mention “Country Rap Tunes”. Everyone. And it is perfectly fine, as there is really no other appropriate way to describe this thing. Out of everyone in the deep talent pool that Burn One produces for, KD sounds the most comfortable over his stuff. They just fit. Especially the beats that lean on soul and ride smooth. An excuse not to download this simply doesn’t exist. This shit is goooood.
“Running Away” is an immediate favorite.
… and “Cruzin” is just way too dope not to post.
Nate B. ‘The Debate’

Odds are if you are familiar with Hunstville’s Nate B. it is through “Extraordinary Nigga” with ST, which was one of last year’s best songs. The Debate is a sequel to The Kampaign, an extremely underrated piece of what will become the pre-blow up Bama canon.
“Weekend Warrior” is the jammy right now
KD crushes “Spell”
KD ‘Soul Inn’
Thursday, October 1st, 2009
Burn One and the fellas over at BLVDST.com just released this latest street album from Alabama’s KD. We sang the praises of Untouchable earlier this year, and Soul Inn continues in the tradition of excellent beat selection and smooth rhyming. Mick Vegas, B-Phlat and B Krik crush the production here. This is big.
