The Late great Andy Fairley recorded a tape full of Poetry and Vocals for me in the 1990s and this recording was the perfect home for some of them. It also features a wonderful performance from Hip Hop Historian JayQuan Aka Jermain Hartsfield Doing a rundown of every rapper known in one go ! This LP is straight up live funk from the fellas that brought you Rap Music in the 70s & 80s and Tack Head, Little Axe, Mark Stewart + Maffia in the 80s & 90s. Its so funky I we had to do a soon to be released. instrumental version with bonus tracks titled (BOOM). All fresh killed meat People.

Review Highlights

"Killer kick drum work...impossibly difficult snare work...the ensuing result is devastating...a peach...If you don't love Keith's drumming, you haven't listened to it. He is the man machine, easily coping with beats only drum machines should be capable of...a consummate timekeeper. 5 Stars." - Sound On Sound. "...the loop tracks never settle down to a routine: there are always challenging twists and turns to the sound, feel and approach. Many have a unique character, yet leave enough room for your creativity...This set challenges you not to come up with formula music. KLB's mind and talent give you a head start in avoiding the mediocre - don't waste it!." 5 Stars. - Sound On Sound,"...top value for money...everything you need to get an authentic hip-hop and 'old skool' feel to your work...What this doesn't offer is the same old hip hop beats that have been circulating the globe for the past couple of decades. What it does offer is a blueprint for the future of modern backbeat." Sound On Sound

"...many will be getting "KLB Vol 5" phast. 4/5" - Remix USA
