Simple E - Colouz Uv Sound (CD 1994)

Posted: 18 Jun 2009 02:00 PM PDT

Simple E, a female emcee, is mainly known for the classic hit "Play My Funk" released on the Sugar Hill Soundtrack in 1993. She then followed with a full length release titled "Colouz Uv Sound" in 1994. The album had one guess appearance from Bay Area legend Spice 1. One thing that people might not be aware is that the album featured two productions from Mista Lawnge of Black Sheep and Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest. Since it is Native Tongues Month, I was pretty sure that a lot of people would be interested in those obscure productions. The rest of the album features jazz influenced beats. Simple E's flow is reminiscent of Missy Elliot. I'm not really sure where Simple E is from but her fan club is located in New Jersey. She is definitely from the East Coast. Enjoy,

As is par for Strictly Breaks' Tribe Vibes series, you're getting a massive amount of funk, soul, and jazz here on Volume 2. From 'Nappy Dugout' to 'North Carolina' to 'Just Enough Room For Storage', your appetite for greezy, gutbucket type funk will be straight. On the soul and RnB tip, 'Pity For The Lonely', early 80's sounding 'Beddie Bye', and the sampled a thousand times over 'Inside My Love' should keep your lady in the mood to deal with your punk ass. Closing this volume out is a spiritual jazz track called 'Soft Spirit'. You'll hear the sample for 'The Hop' in the intro, but it veers off into a deep reservoir of space jazz from that point on.

Even if you had these, you still may want them again being that we including an extra here and there that weren't on the original vinyls.

Catch Volume One here.

Volumes 3 and 4 coming soon, stay tuned...
