Of Heroes & Villains

by Willie Green

This summer has been severely lacking in two things: nice weather, and musical releases. Backwoodz Studioz has helped with the latter, releasing Willie Green's debut instrumental album as a free download.

Green has put together a strong, half-hour collection of beats, with the requisite cartoon voices (including samples from He-Man!), that place him somewhere this side of Madlib in terms of sensibility.

There are twenty instrumental tracks, all short, and two bonus tracks featuring instrumentals by Nasa (of The Presence, whoever that is), and Billy Woods. As is to be expected, the Woods track is pure fire.

This is a nice album, and I hope that a longer, proper release from Green is on the way.
