Connie Price & The Keystones - Tell Me Something (2008)
Hip-Hop / Afrobeat / Funk | mp3, VBR ~192kbps | 65:33 | 76.3 Mb
Label: Ubiquity Records | Released: 2008

On the follow-up to their Now-Again/Stones Throw album, Connie Price and the Keystones step-up with a heavyweight dynamic soundtrack-inspired hip hop album. While their debut was instrumental, "Tell Me Something" is the opposite, featuring a marquee-filling list of quality MCs. The legendary Big Daddy Kane, Percee P, Wildchild from the Lootpack, Ubiquity-labelmate Ohmega Watts, Soup from Jurassic 5, Blood Of Abraham, Mykah 9 from the Freestyle Fellowship and Project Blowed, plus vocalist Aloe Blacc provide lyrics n’rhymes.
Having recently recorded an EP for Scion with Big Daddy Kane, and backing-up Slick Rick, Brand Nubian and Too $hort live, CPK decided to take their live hip hop exploits into the studio. Channeling Wu-Tang and Madlib in equal parts to Schifrin and Morricone the album bobs and weaves through the head-nodding mellower bpms of "Across The Board" and "Pirates of The Mediterranean" to the more frantic chase-scene tunes like "Hoagies Revenge" and "Master At Work". "Funk revivalist" and "retro" were apt tags for the music of CPK when they started out five years ago, fleshing-out raw funk 45s that rivaled the old-school collectible nuggets they were inspired by. But "Tell Me Something" incorporates much broader influences and is a product of a deeper vision.
Connie Price and The Keystones was conceived as a recording project, and features music written solely by Dan Ubick, whose recording credits include Breakestra, Madlib’s Sound Directions, along with Todd M. Simon, of Macy Gray, Antibalas, and El Michels Affair fame. A revolving cast of characters from the incestuous and bustling Los Angeles music scene add flavor, including members of Orgone, Plantlife, Breakestra, Beck, DJ Z-Trip, Cake, Rhythm Roots All Stars, David Holmes, David Garibaldi, Macy Gray, The Lions, Greyboy Allstars, Greasy Beats, etc.
Tell Me Something is a double CD, including one disc of vocals, and an additional of instrumentals.
