Hard to review this output without mentioning neither its author nor the French label at the origin of this bootleg. Anyway, produced by one of the most wanted English activists within Edge City, this monster one side EP takes again with the mythical Eric B & Rakim hip hop cut going back to 1988 in a modern and admirable electrobass version! If the spirit of the original track remains preserved, namely a heading acapella rap, a powerful bass line was affixed, punctuated by splendid scratches and small melody incursions. Sometimes dark, sometimes hypnotic, this ultra groovy and incredible remix should become quickly one of the best feelings of this new year. Essential if not vital!
