French DJ Corrado teams up with Hip Hop Core to showcase on of the scene’s most solid senders and all round headfunker, Kankick. He first came to my attention via his association with the Stones Throw label and has since impressed with a rather prolific output of studio recordings and bedroom beat tapes since. Some great collaborators on this set too. Kankick’s the shit, yo.

Hoo-ee..this gritty gem came through to me recently on the email (meatskull@gmail.com). It’s a prize coupling of Cosmo Baker and 4th Pyramid and…well, i’ll let this tell you more:
“DJ extraordinaire Cosmo Baker (The Rub, NYC) and MC/Producer phenom 4th Pyramid (Toronto) jokingly came up with the concept of THE SHEEN BROTHERS one balmy Manhattan evening: A duo of slicked-out sleazestars tuned into the greasy funk and drippy disco sounds that make girls lose control and guys feel like macks hit the stage in style to turn the party out. Unbeknownst to them, the two hit on a virtual party rocking monster machine that’s no joke. With Cosmo on the ones and twos and Pyramid on the MPD, these two have smoothed out their own brand of sexy dance floor flavor, what they like to call Scumbag Funk, and the people want more. What can they say…it’s a Sheen thing.
Now, you can get your greasy fingers on a piece of SHEEN with this, their much anticipated mix, Scumbag Funk Vol. 1. Out the gates first with an electrifying mix of the dankest drippy-disco around is SHEEN Brother, 4th Pyramid. Get ready for the funk at its finest, being a sleaze ball never felt this good.”
