Steve Arrington – I be trippin (produced by Dam-Funk)

steadybloggin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 23:10:47 +0000

Here we have the first taste of the much lauded collaboration between Dam-Funk and former Slave frontman/all around 80s funk powerhouse Steve Arrington. It’s as good as I expected it to be, this pairing just makes too much sense to yield a bad result. I was hoping for maybe something bit more spacey ala Dam’s solo work, but that’s really a minor gripe. This album is now officially upgraded from ‘anticipated’ to ‘can’t wait for this shit to drop’ (hopefully it won’t be too stingy on the keytar solos.) Extra thought.. Arrington singing on a Master Blazter song would be epic.

This song was taken from Stones Throw’s very generous 2010 sampler Clouds Over The Pacific. The photo above was taken from Matthew Scott’s blog, go there to see more of his work from this session.

A little bonus video footage of Steve and Dam Funk performing live is below.

The monarch of the subterranean, legendary lethal lyricist, rhyme inspector emcee Percee P stopped through the office this afternoon with news that he lost some of his fabled photo books chronicling his years on the grind in NYC. Fortunately, for reasons no one can remember, we scanned one of those books a few years ago, so we got a few of the pics back to Percee â€“ and here’s some for everyone else to see.

A load of classic flicks can be found here.

Dave Cooley:

Madlib works a lot from mono loops, so this is a challenge.

CX KIDTRONIK – Wild Kingdom ft MF DOOM (as King Geedorah) & Diallo

This popped up on the Stones Throw site today. IDK…. I’m posting it since I have a general standing interest in new DOOM-related music and I know plenty of others do as well. But this one isn’t exactly knocking me over. I suppose those who have more of a taste for the progressiveside of things would maybe enjoy this more than I do.

Straight outta Leimert Park, LA comes a brand new ambassador for the space funk. It’s Roger Troutman meets DJ Quik on the Mothership Connection. And it’s fucking dope.
