Help (feat. Adult Karate)

Gate. 13 | 2018 | #BayArea. Since longtime member of Zion I producer Amp Live split with his emcee partner Zumbi (who continues Zion I solo) he has been busy being his usual super creative self. In 2018 he teamed up again with Del the Funky Homosapien this time for the full-length album “Gate 13” on which he flexes his future beat production style. On this track he both employs among other styles some opera (something first done by Malcolm McLaren) while also continuing the vibe he first crafted a decade ago on “RADIOHEAD RAINYDAYS REMIXES” his dope Radiohead remix project that included guest spots from Zumbi, Too $hort and Del. | 0:01:18 (Pop-up) | |||||
