Kurious - Fill 'Er Up
(From unreleased; 1991/A Constipated Monkey Demo Sessions EP; 2008)
The recent renaissance by Kurious has finally inspired me to check out that EP of his unreleased pre-A Constipated Monkey recordings. I was already up on Trueness To The Blueness but unfamiliar with the rest. Fave song on there is Fill 'Er Up where Yung Jorge is already in fine self-deprecating form over some Pete Nice production; even though Jorge has already been bitten by cynicism, the song still retains that 1991 Rap innocence. In a perfect world Fill 'Er Up shoulda been Kurious' debut single before he followed it up with Walk Like A Duck.
(I asked him on Instagram when it was recorded and he reckoned late 1991.)
Cheers for this post. Never even knew there was A Constipated Monkey Demo Sessions EP.
ReplyDeleteThe original version of Jorge of the Projects is so much harder on the EP than the one on the album.
Catch Ya Drift is a gem too.
ReplyDeleteWhere you find this? Never even knew this EP even existed.
ReplyDeleteI remember when the EP came out but it sold out almost immediately and I couldn't find a rip of it so I forgot about it until now.
