Slab of rumbustuous deep funk from Master At Work, Kenny Dope.
Masters At Work were hot as hell for about ten years (the nineties, basically), unleashing killer track after killer track - Nuyorican Soul, Masters At Work's own 12"s, 'Everybody Be Somebody' by Ruffneck ft Yavahn, I mean, I could go on...
Kenny 'Dope' Gonzales dropped this delightful slice of deep funk pastiche in 1999 on a nice 7" single with Part One on one side and Part Two on the flip, no doubt in homage to the 7"s of James Brown, Jerry & The Medicine Men et al.
It's a rolling, hard-nosed groove with neat clattering drums, horn stabs, a James Brown grunt, a wiggling clavichord solo and some breathless vocals.
Just divine. Check out Karl Hector & The Malhouns' 'Girma's Lament' (mp3) while you're at it too.
