about
Monsieur's a cold German from Stuttgart, but that doesn't stop the funk from flowing through his veins. Residing in Sugar Hill, NYC might have rubbed off, but hosting AWOL One, 2 Mex and Courtney Mace as album guests doesn't hurt. Neo-soul, Money Mark trickery, crooning Quincey Jones R&B and Ella Fitzgerald jazz collide on Leroc's third pastiche release, a lilting deconstruction of multiple music forms that's extra smooth. Somewhere between the sampladelic, organized chaos of DJ Shadow or Cut Chemist, and the funky white boy electro-hop of Jamie Lidell, lies Leroc. "Me So Hungry," a song about beef, pork, chicken and butter, evokes Diggable Planets at their oddball finest. "Great Balls" drills the Jerry Lee Lewis hook into your head, while a Kravitz imitator swoons about hot women. And "Pacemaker" copy and pastes lo-fi Supremes hotness over those old ''60s breaks records in your basement. Hip-hop to the nines!" -- URB Magazine User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
