In an age where library music is finding its way into hiphop left and right, here's the middle ground - a lightly-fucked, lyricless romp through the archives. The source samples are solid; building grooves that makes you feel like Danny Ocean playing Elvis; the kind of hooks that steal a half step from your stride and put it back better than ever, each loop spiked with some dusting of synth pulses or extra beats; some little chop or drop or glitch.
Not to take away from the respective producers, but it's not that the extra touches are so exceptional, it's that this whole era of library music is hooky and party-ready and needs the barest spark to catch your place on fire. And sometimes the muckery even undercuts the dusty swagger of the source material, ending up a little bit Fatboy-overproduced. But there's enough hits to make this worth your attention, at very least as an easy reserve of hooky background music 3.5/5
