Ms. One & The Gang

by Georgia Anne Muldrow (more or less)

It seems there is a lot of music coming out of the FroLabs these days - as both Georgia Anne Muldrow and Dudley Perkins have put out lengthy albums this month.

This album dropped a couple of months ago, and so far as I can tell, it's a whole whack of different artists, most of whom sound a lot like Dudley and Georgia Anne, singing or rapping over Georgia Anne's beats.

This is a very funky, soulful album, as Muldrow proves once again that she is one of the most exciting producers working in hip-hop right now. The sound is very laid-back Madlib-ish in places, but with the usual G&D sensibilities, as songs come out in favour of love and peace, and against war.

I have no clue who these other artists are - aside from Perkins, the only other ones I recognize are Eagle Nebula and Stacy Epps, and I can't help but feel that one or two of them are Georgia Anne herself, pulling a 'Generals' on us.

Regardless, this is a very cohesive album for having so many cooks in the kitchen, and it's very nice to just lay back and groove to.
