In the past there have been great rap artists like the Fat Boys, Doug E Fresh and Biz Markie who have dominated many records with their sounds of the mouth. If you thought that sound has died, you've made a mistake. For all those who still like to groove, there's a new kid in town.

Kenny Mohamed and friends were attracted to grace this title with some fresh inspiration. The man holds the nickname The Human Orchestra and is already on more records than he has fingers and toes. The whole set looks a bit like some construction sets. First, the complete mix and afterwards the individual elements. The rhythms Kenny and his friends have laid down on this piece of platinum are the phattest on this earth along with the real old school deal. You'll be amazed by them, and if you aren't, the loops processed with external outboard gear will. It's just amazing to hear sounds you never expected coming from a human's mouth.

The recordings must have been expensive if comes to the use of plop filters, but the right punch of the bass drums and the rusty high mid of the snares is there where you need it. The outboard gear that was used is not really an improvement, but then again they're also fun and creative.

Maybe this one is for rare use, but then again it is very good.
