Cool Mike: the untold story

by SPECSWIZARD

supported by

Gary Campbell "Cool Mike" is a celebration of vintage gear: Each song formed from a single intriguing, sample loop, then pulling in snippets of dialogue, environment sounds, even the clicks and clacks of the sampling machinery. "Sheets" has a beat moving at odds with verses that talk about the daily grind of excellence, while on "NHB," he's on a beach, drinking a Mai Tai, laughing in a flow that feels effortless, at the rest of us and our silly, quantized, auto-tuned computers.

Just the dopest real hip hop of all time. I mean, I've heard nothing to touch these Washington brothers in ages. Enormously shmoov. I may have to move out there. G Lampa

Wiz put a lot of work into this record, and it shows. It's a virtual embarrassment of hip hop riches, truthfully. Dense with crunchy drums, it's on par with productions by legends like Prince Paul or Dust Brothers, in terms of its complexity and jazzy feel. He has a real knack for layering disparate samples into unique, poly-rhythmic grooves. Wiz's rhyme style is clever, organic and abstract, and it melds perfectly w/ the beats. BLESS! G Lampa
