Daily Bread "Elephants" | Oddisee Remix
Hassaan Mackey & Apollo Brown

From Mello Music Group-

Daily Bread (Hassaan Mackey & Apollo Brown) continues to release new music as they campaign for their self-titled album Daily Bread. Today they've reached out to label mate and producer Oddisee (whose album Rock Creek Park officially comes out everywhere Sept 6th on CD) remix the standout track Elephants.

The Oddisee remix of Elephants is being made available on a special edition bonus 45 record that FatBeats will release on 9/13 with the 2xLP vinyl edition of the new popular album Daily Bread.

The remix brings Oddisee's distinct drum patterns and Hassaan Mackey's gruff flow at it's best: "some down to earth shit the world aint ready for...verbs from the soul adding light to the mic."

Cook Em Up Style

Tune: Cook It?


I found this 7" record of a Jamaican version of Hit em Up Style in the back of some section at Amoeba Berkeley where it had no business hiding... like the gospel or New Orleans section. The record caught my eye because of the title "cook it". I don't remember who the artist is, sadly I sold this record at a Fabric8 record swap. If this jam was a hit we could call them a one hit wonder, but I doubt it topped any charts, so we will just call them a wonder... until I can ID the artist.

The lyrics are all about some gal who has trouble cooking a chicken dinner and burning rice!

The Carolina Chocolate Drops keep the same lyrics and feel of the OG tune on this version adding their signature old timey mountain jug band/ string band flair.

Afrolicious


The tune Vampires by Theivery Corporation (w/ Femi Kuti on vocals) gets the remix treatment by San Francisco's beloved Afrolicious brothers along with TC's Rob Gaza. Over seven minutes of scorching grooves with a backbeat and bass that keeps it rolling.

Flipside features one remix of Pueblo Unido by Jeremy Sole & Quantic {got Cumbia?} and another version by Uproot Andy {nice traveling along mambo electro afro drums with a balkan feel to the horns. fire}
