JBeats Pick Of The Week #6

Dog It - Digable Planets

This Hip Hop band formed in 1987 and the album Blowout Comb came out in 1994. For an album 27 years old it practically sounds brand new and shows how ahead of their time they were. I won’t go in to the album itself as that is something you just have to listen to and appreciate from start to finish; but the particular song Dog It hits my ear drums differently. Containing 2 very clever samples (God made me funky and Sell your soul) this is the sort of tune you can imagine yourself skateboarding down the seafront to with a drink in hand even though you have never picked up a skateboard before in your life. It is groovy, funky, soulful and the use of the looping saxophone really starts the the song well and leaves me starting this song over and over. Check them out!
