FALL BACK

It’s no secret that we here at Crossfaded Bacon love us some Peedi Crakk and it’s not just because he graced us with his presence a few months back at White Ts. This recently uncovered video for his classic “Fall Back” hints at why we love the bol so much and are on the verge of starting a letter writing campaign to Def Jam to either put the man’s album out, or let him go put it out independently… and while we’re at it, Def Jam needs to free Free as well!

09122007: Sean Paul, Mr Vegas, Mike Jones, & Emynd

Taking a page from my out-of-key but totally effective “Presidential” Crunk/Dancehall blend, I recently created this totally out-of-key but effective concoction. It’s just the melodramatic ass “Mr. Jones” instrumental with the Sean Paul and Mr. Vegas’s classic “Hot Gyal Today” from the Street Sweeper riddim. I don’t have the acapella, so I just threw the song on top, filtered out some bass and called it a day. But, it knocks as far as I’m concerned. Frankly, I can’t decide if it works despite it’s out-of-key cacophony or precsiely BECAUSE of that cacophony. There’s just something about it that’s really hard, and it might be the fact that these guys are totally not singing to this beat. Whatever, the case, if used at the appropriate time, this ish is guaranteed to bring your crowd to a frenzy. If your audience is at all familiar with carribean anthems, rock it out in your crunk sets and I’m pretty sure somebody will get punched (in a good way).

I thought I would post this youtube of philly rapper and Crossfaded Bacon fam Reef the Lost Cauze. Reef is a fucking really dope rapper who has been grinding at this rap shit way before people even rocked guess jeans. He gets insane amounts of underground love, but deserves respect across the entire rap spectrum. Life has a way of pulling people in different directions, and I don’t see Reef as much as I used to, but I just know the bol will continue to stay thorough and keep making real music people in Philly can feel and can be proud of.

Peep the V-Twinz produced, “The Sound Of Philadelphia”. Reef borrows the song title from the famous Philly record label that Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff spawned(you should know that), and reflects on some of the realities we deal with living in Philadelphia- drugs, violence, poverty, corruption, frustration, and unhealthy food(which is actually a good thing).

The joint is a little old, but now is always a good time to think about the shit going on around us.

Peace y’all.
