Stetsasonic: Message In Our Music
Stetsasonic just released their first album since 1991. It is a great return to the sound they helped invent as well as a move into modern hip hop. The group started in 1981, spearheaded the use of a live band, and rapped about social issues before most groups. Founding member Prince Paul was integral in the development of the new school of hip hop with groups such as De La Soul, Jungle Brothers, and A Tribe Called Quest. “Message In Our Music” is as old school as rap gets in 2024.
To learn more about Stetsasonic, check out their Wikipedia article, visit their website, or watch this video for one of the greatest hip hop songs ever recorded.

Love this – and that bass line!

I know, right? I haven’t researched it, but I think this samples heavily from the O’Jays song Message in our Music. The O’Jays were totally funky!
