As De La Soul once said: “Three is the magic number”, and only two weeks after ORIGU45-002 by Kayohes, V3RB and Rusher hit the stores, here comes another new favourite 45 for DJs, collectors and musicfans worldwide.
Origu releases two brandnew tracks by Andy Cooper of Ugly Duckling exclusively on 7“ vinyl, just in time for christmas.
‘Room To Breathe' is a super-cool funk track that has Cooper lyrically swinging in the braggadocio tradition of Slick Rick and Grand Puba while 'Unlikely Assassin' is Andy's homage to all the coolest, 1960's secret agents with licenses to kill; Cooper murders microphones, of course. If you like your Hip Hop fresh and unique, this one's for you.
