Mr. Mo Records: MRMO45-002 (Kush Jones, DJ Amex, Swisha) Vinyl 7 Fashion

Two NY-born producers on this split 7 , and the first is Kush Jones, who s a member of the LA-Based Juke Bounce Werk collective. Flip starts w vintage house chords, before the killer drums and sub-bass kick in to take the energy level up to footwork heights. There is also a dope, mid-song horn sample, which momentarily adds a nice Latin flavor. 1nce, as the title suggests, is built on the A Tribe Called Quest tune of the same name (Dilla produced!) from the group s 4th album, Beats, Rhymes, and Life. The familiar Check The Rhime exchange between Q-Tip and Phife starts the song off, before Tammy Lucas vocals and warm chords smooth out the uptempo drum work for a fine R&B-meets-footwork result.
