Raw Drive- The Vice President of Soul

UGHH - Camp Lo is back! The Sonny Cheeba and Geechie Suede duo return with their highly anticipated album called “Black Hollywood”, produced exclusively by the legendary Ski Beatz. Fans of Camp Lo’s 1996 debut classic “Uptown Saturday Night” album will surely be satisfied by the group’s return with an updated version of their infectious Bronx soul that the group is known for and their lyrics that consist partly of Blaxploitation-style Dadaist slang. Making their first appearance on “The Great White Hype” soundtrack, their smooth party song single “Coolie High” was a minor hit, peaking at #25 on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart. The first major exposure came with the release of their second single, the upbeat and horn driven “Luchini aka This Is It”. The song became a crossover hit in 1997, breaking into the top 50 on the Billboard Hot 100, and reaching the top 5 on the Hot Rap Singles chart. The duo released their debut album in January 1997. The effort was widely acclaimed, praised for their light accessible content and their smooth, funk and jazz inspired production. They went on to release a sophomore album called “Let’s Do It Again” in 2002. Jump ahead to 2007 and be prepared for the arrival of a new Camp Lo, produced by the one and only Ski Beatz. Previously known just as Ski, Ski Beatz is best known for his work with Jay-Z on the album “Reasonable Doubt”. He’s also produced tracks for AZ, Lil’ Kim, Fat Joe, Foxy Brown and of course he did almost the entire Camp Lo debut album “Uptown Saturday Night”.

fatbeats – Back in! This little slab initially dropped in 1997, and has been a fixture in many a record bag since then. Not only do you get the 2 amazing tracks on Side A from “Beats, Rhymes, & Life,” but also the exclusive Q-Tip and Rah Digga duet “Mardi Gras at Midnight” with the trademark Jay Dee Ummah track, and Tip’s marvelous one-verse manifesto “Same Ol Thing,” which appeared on the “Men In Black” soundtrack. A nice one for the collection…
