Hutson; Tremaine "Six7" Williams; Ivan Dup?e; Darryl Ross. | | Recording information: Dp Studios, Chicago, IL; Keswick Studios, Reseda, CA; The Greem Room Recording Studio, Woodland Hills, CA. | | Sticking to its hip-hop guns, this fourth volume of Hidden Beach Recordings' UNWRAPPED offers up more instrumental smooth-jazz renditions of popular rap tunes. Here Busta Rhymes's "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See" becomes a trumpet-led, slap-bass-sporting jazz/funk workout, and the Sugarhill Gang's classic "Rapper's Delight" is used as a template for intricate piano solos. Geared towards the Quiet Storm set, this compilation is unlikely to find a big rap audience, but that doesn't make it any less entertaining. | | Now four volumes old, Hidden Beach's Unwrapped series takes another crack at a bunch of hip-hop hits, both old and recent, in the form of smooth jazz interpretations. Since neither Patrice Rushen nor Jeff Lorber are involved with this set, some of the appeal is lost, but the musicians involved here do give it their all and provide very skilled and often imaginative spins on the likes of Slick Rick's "Children's Story," Chubb Rock's "Treat 'Em Right," the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight," Kid 'N Play's "Rollin' with Kid 'N Play," Terror Squad's "Lean Back," 50 Cent's "Candy Shop," and the Game's "Hate It or Love It." As with the past volumes, it will take no more than a 30-second sampling to determine whether or not you will want to hear it again. ~ Andy Kellman |
