Photobucket

If you've been following me or Western$lapademicks for a while, hopefully you aren't new to Platinum Pied Pipers (PPP)- If you are, prepare to be amazed. Last week I got a chance to peep the advance of the album and was THOROUGHLY impressed. 

For those for who forgot, I did the OFFICIAL REMIX to this album's first single "On A Cloud", peep the my post "Chillin on a Cloud with PPP"...

I knew they would come back with some real dope shit, but oooooh maaaaaaan... This new album is on some next level FutureSoulectricPsychedelicFunkateer Shit- for the people. 

I would love to give everyone the album for free, but this shit is MUST BE BOUGHT- hard copy at that.  Don't fret though... you can download the Abundance Mixtape courtesy of the homie Kenny Fresh over @ Freshselects. Get That.

Happy listening.

Chillin' On A Cloud With PPP



The first time I ever got a chance see Platinum Pied Pipers was back in '04 at Milk in San Francisco. They had already dropped the "Ridin' High"/"Open Your Eyes" 12", but I still wasn't sure what to expect from them. At that point the group was more hype than buzz in the Bay, but after seeing the show it became evident that PPP was something to pay attention to. And to put icing on the cake, the show introduced us to two women who have proven they to had something to offer the game: Tioimbe Lockhart and Georgia Anne Muldrow. I officially became a fan it all.

I finally got to meet Waajeed at Magic in '06. Dope dude. His only advice on the industry was simple. "Get Your MuthaF#@$%& Money!".

How insightful.
No really.

The fact that this remix actually happened shows that Tap and I actually have the power to will things into existence. I can't explain it, but somehow, through a string of events, I knew this would happen. When I finally got the acapella, I instantly fell in love with Karma's vocals. I decided to bring the track into my realm, while still preserving its funk roots. The horns in my version arent the same horns from the original. I wanted to mimic the original, while bringing a sampled element to it. The only request/guideline I recieved about the direction of the remix was to keep it on the dancefloor. So I had to keep it electric.

Go and buy it.
Buy it now.
The wax is available in stores.
It's on Itunes.

Get that, Get that!!!!

Trackadeezy.
Holler.
