Some of you may dig this for the nostalgic bring back of Grandmaster Flash’s classic anthem. This, however, brought me to attention when I heard Latyrx‘s “Lady Don’t Tek No, cut right from the start.
“Lady Don’t Tek No” brings me back to my first years in college. I may have been a little late on The Bay’s hip-hop scene, but Latyrx was one of my main introductions and I’ve been a big supporter ever since – just saw they finished a new track (album?)
As far as what Soo brings to the collision of these classics, like many electro-artists today, he puts a fresh perspective on an already fine tune (or more in this case). With cuts, wiggles, wobbles and whatever else, it may be a little out there for the old school hip-hop heads, but like all evolution in music, hip-hop will bring on a broader range of sound, like it or not.
