Special K – The "P" People Just Rappin’ Mini LP (4 Tracks) ( O.P.J. Records 1990 ) Chicago Hip Hop
Really cool one here, fresh Hip Hop out of Chicago! All in all this mini Album features 7 Tracks, 4 are Hip Hop and 3 are Hip House! In this Clip you find the 4 Hip Hop Tracks! About the Songs, homemade lo-fi Hip Hop .... just Drum computer Beats, some Basslines and melodies here and there, and some cuts and scratches! Sometimes it sounds like the Beat is not programmed but played live. In any case this is not everybody's taste, me personally I really like this kinda Hip Hop ... when it sounds like it was recorded in the bedroom LOL. The MC is really dope, I ask myself how he would have sounded with a professional Production, I guess we won't find out, this record seems to be his only official release! By the way, all the involved are family Members, maybe brothers ... "Kevin Payne" aka "Special K", his Dj (Scratchologist) "Odie Payne IV" and "Odie Payne III" on the Production! If you digg the demo-sounding stuff .... you could like this one! By the way, the tunes sounds definitely older than 1990, more like 1988! Here the track-list of this Youtube clip:
00:00 - 03:45 = Comin' on strong
03:45 - 07:40 = Just Rappin'
07:37 - 12:42 = Where I'm comin' from
12:40 - 19:03 = Keep searchin'
Peace
