Besides, such esteemed luddites as Robbie and DJ Ivory & the other bloke from the P. Brothers really should have known that the best Fat Beats-era D.I.T.C doja was A-Bless. Ain't gonna front like A-Bless had more than 4 good songs in him, but that's 3 more than Milano had, and dude was a Lord Finesse analogue for the S.D.E generation. What a pity we never got a proper Showbiz-produced solo A-Bless single since he made the fatal mistake of signing with a crew who still plied their trade with 12" records when N.Y was amidst the transition into a mixtape city:
And I love 'em in white thongs with no skids"
A-Bless - That's Bless

A-Bless was on the first Kay Slay album too
ReplyDeletethe pun + joe song on that wildlife ep was the dog's bollox
ReplyDeleteIt was. Much preferred that original Amed beat to the Showbiz remix.
