Limited Orange Vinyl
Here we find the highly anticipated second release from the dynamic duo SPOX PHD.
"Chicken
Scratch" displays emcee Oxygen's masterful lyricism showcasing a
barrage of crafty, rapid fire word play with Dj Spinna cutting up
doubles of an obscure chicken clucking drum break. That's all. Very
simple formula. Quite reminiscent of an early 80's park jam, but with a
modern edge.
The
B-side "Actual Fact" is reminiscent of a short feature film from 2 of
hip hop's elite directors. With mc Apani B Fly making a guest
appearance, this is an honest compact testimony from Oxygen reflecting
on his life story and crossroads he's confronted over the last 2
decades. There's no debating his veteran status and this song offers
some insight to aspiring artists and listeners who'll relate to the
daily effort of being true to who you are when your environment doesn't
always promote your agenda. Spinna provides an instrumental thick in
texture opening with syncopated piano chords and punchy drums as the
foundation for his signature accompaniment from multiple sound sources.
Listeners should note the use of the rolling kick throughout the drum
sequencing. This resumes comfortably where their last 7" left off and
must have for fans of authentic NY hip hop.
