Us3 - The Greatest
Review by Kenny Crucial
The album "The Greatest" by Us3 is a masterpiece of jazz-rap fusion. The London-based group, led by producer Geoff Wilkinson, seamlessly blends the improvisational spirit of jazz with the rhythmic and lyrical flow of hip-hop. The album features a range of talented musicians, including saxophonist Ed Jones, trumpeter Gerard Presencer, and vocalist KCB.
The opening track, "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)", is a classic jazz-rap anthem that showcases the group's ability to blend samples and live instrumentation. Other standout tracks include "Tukka Yoot's Riddim", which features a catchy horn riff and infectious hook, and "Eleven Long Years", a poignant ballad that showcases KCB's soulful vocals.
