That’s The Joint – Funky 4 + 1

This is absolute funk-tastic rap. Turn it up loud and really listen.

I’ve got a real soft-spot for live-feel hip hop and this album does not disappoint on that front. You’ll almost certainly recognise the track, “King Heroin”, too, because it’s been sampled so many times by other artists.

These folks inspired artists like Beastie Boys and Run DMC, so they’re a must listen.

Listen here.
