Catalog # CH 2003 Release Date October 1999 SOLID GOLD PLAYAZ "GOT'Z PIMPIN' TO DO" EP
If you haven't heard of the Solid Gold Playaz by now, you better get ready. They are gonna to take you inside their the world, and let you know what it feels like to be an old school Playa with, "Got'z Pimpin' To Do", their debut release on Chisel. With lots of percussion, originality, raw funky beats, and unused samples, the Playaz are definitely setting new trends From the old skool. Track number one is a Playaz Dream. Besides what's a Solid Gold party "If My Homiez Can't Hang", and that's the title of this dope ass track. The track starts out with a bare percussive intro, Solid Gold style, and then goes into one their funkiest loops yet. This one sounds like it came straight from Long Beach, fresh out of a Snoop Dogg video. And the loop just rides. And occasionally breaks into " leave your number on the table and I promise baby I'll give you a call " This is definitely an old school anthem, and the shit is just so right, it will have you up and down! The loop rides and rides, and then filters all the way down, so the bass just rumbles. That's your break. "Got'z Pimpin' " is track number two. And it's a real get up track. The intro is classic Solid Gold. A very percussive, swinging beat with a sample behind it filtered all the way down. You can just feel the vibe growing with every measure. Then the sample filters up, and builds while it changes to a jazzy guitar rift that loops for a while. It goes through a couple of changes and some nice slow filtering, until it filters all the way down, taking you with it. Then that swinging ass percussion kicks you right in the face. It breaks down to a naked break so all you old school jocks can mix out. Number three is "Playaz Life". It also starts out with a really percussive intro, Playaz style. Your body will be jacking to these rhythms. Then a funky ass jazzy Fender Rhodes starts rolling a tight ass melody over those swinging beats. It kinda makes you feel what it's like to be a playa for life. The beat breaks down occasionally, with the loop just rolling on over. Next the keys change up to a mellower roll, for pimping on the down low. Then that funky ass melody comes back, like a customer on Friday. Then there are a few more changes, and a nice repetitive loop that changes the melody a couple more times And then the break. Another totally percussive break you can ride out on. "The Flute Song (Pimpin' Ken RMX)", is the last track. And as usual the Playaz have saved us some good shit for last. If you got the original you know what's up. If you didn't, you are about to know. The intro is a Playa, DJ friendly, bare intro Then in break's into a " stomp your feet to the beat" sample that will get your crowd up and stomping their feet. Then it rolls to a jacking ass flute sample, with some cool strings behind it, just looping. And rolling on and on. It occasionally break's down to the "stomp your feet" sample. Then goes right back to that tight ass flute sample. There's a quick break down, that's nothing but drums, for those old skool DJ's who want to get out of the track early. Or just fool your crowd into thinking that you're getting out. Then the "stomp" sample again and the track builds right back up! It rolls the flute sample for awhile, and breaks down to the drums again for your outro. For orders/dist. contact Chisel: 313.297.7979 phone 248.545.9483 phax www.chiselrecords.com
