Midwest Record, CD Review >>

Right.  So here I am with Borders 30% off a cd coupons, vainly searching bordersstores.com for some Arista Gil Scott-Heron reissues, probably spurred by “Futurama” ripping off “The Revolution Will Not be Televised” for a commercial.  Nada, they didn’t even have the Compendia live greatest hits.  Bah.  Waste of a good coupon with them reducing cd space by 30%.  So, the next day, comes a party record by a former black panther that took the whole back to Africa thing very seriously, so much so that he did time as a draft resister.  And here he comes with a party record fusing da Bronx with Dakar, but it’s a party record almost ala “Johannesburg”.  Cool synchronicity, huh?  Give it a spin, you won’t feel like a New York immigrant cab driver.  The drum ace powers a snazzy set that brings heat to the feet and rhythm from the core to the fore.  Check it out to lively up yourself and beat down the man at the same time.
