It might just be me but I've found my favourite piece off the Usual Suspects album. Their "Interlude" is straight gangsta! Solid & Simple. Here you've got solid hip hop running through the LP then smoothed out all from this soulful piece. Don't get me wrong, it's not the most amazing beat/piece in the world but it's like Etta Jame's band were jammin' away then someone rocked up with an MPC and added a touch of Hip Hop
The effect of the old school keys weren't taken away at all in the track probably because there wasn't much added to do so but in saying that, it's a good way to fuse soul n hip hop; by not adding too much because the souls too solid, you can't touch it! The sound of the keys used, you can't make anymore and too hear them be put on in the middle of a new age NZ Hip Hop LP was enough to be a favourite for me.
Even though it's just looped and hasn't got much happening, you can switch it up easily to fit in vocals/raps or leave it solid as it is, which got picked! Chuck Ben Turua on the Double Bass, Dyne on the Drums, Tonga on the Keys & Tungz on Gat, then you got this jam Live homies! Cop the track below!
