In its original incarnation as æHeavy HeavyÆ the
instrumental version of this track attracted its fair
share of attention on the recent BreakinÆ Bread
compilation ædirtybeatbreakinfunkandhiphopÆ. Under
their respective aliases, producers Natural Self and
Nostalgia 77 drag their frantic break-beat monster
into mash-up territory here, marrying it with a
timeless lyrical performance from the iconic Kool
Keith.
The early-Æ90s acapella from Ultramagnetic MCÆs æPoppa
LargeÆ sits snugly here over the twosomeÆs relentless
barrage of jarring drum breakdowns, funky guitar
snippets and overall musical madness. The end result
sounds so organic that if Keith himself were to hear
æPoppa HeavyÆ heÆd probably be left wondering if it
was a remix recorded during a blunted late-night
studio session that heÆd subsequently forgotten.
Brighton meets The Bronx and proves the old-school
Rakim adage that it ainÆt where youÆre from, itÆs
where youÆre at.
