Nostalgia for the Future
PT, 1




A combination of braggadocio and introspection, realism and imagination, wordplay and lyricism, all balanced out with a dash of humor. This is what best describes Kenn Starr. The "Star Status" album will be in rotation for a long time on my system and it should be in yours! My fav producer of the moment Kev Brown! is working on the album but also illmind, oddise and m-phazes take this to another level... Cop' this!

Here is another Underground group called The Strange Fruit Project! These cat's made my fav album of the year! "Breezy, cozy grooves with rich bass lines and jazzy samples." Anyway the thing is with T.S.F.P is that the music is soulful music you know the type that has so much soul as there lyrics are positive so when you combine the mellow beats from S1 it blends perfectly.. Get this peepz'

Strange Fruit Project - Under Pressure

But before your askin yourself why I had to put that fiddler pic up.. Amp is back with sum' good stuff.. The second album is actually stronger than his debut (great as it is) the tracks laid here are for the serious organic soul fan "Faith" is a great funky foot stomper with a dirty low B-line. The awesome track titled "hustle" has a very Curtis sounding string ladened back drop.

Amp Fiddler - Faith
Amp Fiddler - Hustle
Amp Fiddler - Right Where You Are
Amp Fiddler - Find My Way
Amp Fiddler - Seven Mile
