Title: Hot as hell
Review: Count Bass D remains one of the most interesting hip hop artists around. His beats are slick and polished, but dont' draw from immediate hip hop influences: there is a definite jazz vibe throughout the entire record, not just from the drums but the melodic mechanisms Count employs. Thus, the record is fresh and smooth, extremely easy to listen to and a totally enjoyable musical experience.The organic feel really lends to Count's prominence as a songwriter and musician. The record does sound like something that a formerly-enrolled Juliard musician would make: uncanny timing and smooth chord changes that harken back to when musical formulas were capable of producing bravely new sounds. This album just kicks it to a new notch.
