Gappy Ranks w/ Undercover

I love Gappy, he's a super diverse artist and this selection covers his Peckings lovers/rocksteady vibe, his killer rootsier stuff, some old dancehall from his Suncycle days, a lik of fresh dancehall and even a straight up hip hop '2pac bigging' banger.

Sweet. Undercover.

Truth & Soul Showcase w/ Undercover

Updated link!

I have been a huge fan of the Brooklyn based funk/soul/latin label Truth & Soul since its inception in 2004. Leon Michels and crew have that raw, rusty feel similar to the Datptone crew gives it a warm groove. There is some exceptional music in here such as Timmy McNealy's Al Green and Marvin Gaye covers and his classic Sagittarius Black (and rap), the funk legend Lee Fields whose recently released album secured his place in music history and house band Expressions/El Michels Affair dope Isaac Hayes and Wu Tang licks. There a few extras like the pre T&S label - Soul Fire that they have re-released and some killer covers and remixes of Amy Whinehouse and Gabriella Climi where T&S take out the pop and insert serious grit. Enjoy.

Syl is the man, born in Mississippi he started jamming in the 50's before recording with Federal Records then onto Twinight and eventually onto Hi Records by the end of the 60's. Syl has been sampled by too many Hip Hop artists including Wu-Tang, Kool G Rap, RJD2, Michael Jackson, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill...you get the picture. Check out some of my favourites, I call this rusty soul...
