On her long-awaited debut, Lil' Mo shows why stars like Jay-Z, Ja Rule, and Keith Sweat were so anxious to feature her on their own albums. The Big Apple rapper and singer is a protégé of Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot, but where Elliot's game is cutting lines and cutting-edge hip-hop, Lil' Mo is a lil' more subtle, preferring to tap into her roots in old-fashioned gospel and R&B. That's not to say this album lacks the requisite up-tempo club thumpers -- "Gangsta" and "Superwoman, Pt. 2" certainly fill that bill. It's just that when things mellow out a bit, Mo really shines -- on sweet slow jams like "How Many Times," or on the stunning, bitter kiss-off, "Ta Da." Probably the best reference point for Lil' Mo's winning blend of street smarts and classic soul divaship is Mary J. Blige, and Based on a True Story suggests that Blige could have some serious competition in the years to come. ~ Dan LeRoy, All Music Guide

Baby's Band Tele Music |
| For the last 30 years, from Hip Hop to House, exerts from Disco records have formed the backbone of dance tracks the world over. However, after three decades that has seen countless producers plundering their parent's record collections, the quest to find untapped and original disco gold to remould has become an almost impossible task. However, the ever knowledgeable folks at DJ History have managed to strike disco gold with their latest compilation, 'Tele Music Remixed', which unearths a selection of unheard dance floor gems and understatedly updates them for big club systems and basement parties alike. Using long lost French library music to create the source material for a series of remixes, the DJ History crew have then assembled a crack team of crate digging enthusiast that includes X-Press 2 member Diesel, Manchester legends Unabombers and disco kids Faze Action. It's helpful to know that rather than being like much library music, which is often merely a means to end for radio producers and directors on a budget, 'Tele Music' was composed by some of the tightest session musicians of their day, who played on a slew of multi platinum selling releases for the lies of Cerrone and Don Ray. Pick of album comes from edit wizz-kid Leo Zero, who takes the subtle groove of 'Babys Band' and infuses it with acid house sirens, wonky synth leads and general disco debauchery. The full album contains more of the same from cult crate diggers Ray Mang and Idjut Boys and is available exclusively from www.DJHistory.com . Most certainly one for the connoisseur! ©2008 Shazam Entertainment Limited. All rights reserved. | |
