Benny Reid - Shook Ones Part II (Benny Reid Productions)

Benny Reid
Shook Ones Part II
(Benny Reid Productions)


There is never a time when we're not on the hunt for a funky idea executed to perfection and laid down on wax. For 'Shook Ones Part II', that eye-bulging Ren and Stimpy moment came late last year when 45 Live's Smoove and his trusty sidekick Turrell dropped this gem on their weekly 'Northern Coal Experience Show'. When that happened all the studio phone lines jammed up and the buzz was created on this side of the world at least. The artist in question is New Jersey based jazz saxophonist, music producer, and composer Benny Reid who has recreated from the ground up (no samples here folks!) a classic reworking of an iconic rap staple from Mobb Deep. Mobb Deep's Havoc caught wind of his take of Eric B & Rakim’s ‘Follow The Leader’ and on the strength of that work authorised the artist to reconstruct the iconic The Infamous LP. The 45 sold out in record time but the good news is that a limited run is now available in blue vinyl and can be preordered from Juno. The combination of the rich raw material and the producer's musicianship make for an instant classic.

We strongly urge you to preorder the 45 on Juno and in the meantime cop the LP entitled 'The Infamous: Live' here.
