Album de la semaine: Dudley Perkins - Holy Smokes

@@@1/2


Dudley Perkins offers a nice spaced out trip with his 3rd album released under his birth name. Unlike the 2 first which were produced by Madlib, this one has all the beats handled by his frequent collaborator Georgia Anne Muldrow... While her music is mostly rooted into soul, she definitely shows here that she can drop beats for a hip hop artist without sounding out of her zone at all. It's funny talking about a female hip hop producer, it's more than just a male-dominated area as there is simply no other girls handling beats or at least I can't think of any since Silvia Robinson and that's going way back! Georgia's beats are like George Clinton meets Dilla, I can't really describe them in any other way and there are just a perfect match for Dudley who is already a rapping George Clinton. His subject matters revolve around funk, love, peace, he gets political at times too... but the guy really sounds like he's floating in space, very high on lots of weed. That's cool tho, I love Dudley, I dig his style and he's just the shit. Really nice work from Georgia on the beats too, a good dose of modern head-nodders that are mostly all good. This is probably an album that's just for the people who were already fans of both, but hey I am!
