The first single from Del's forthcoming album on the DefJux label arrives a little late to the party, seeing as it's been years that we've been waiting for the 11th hour to drop. Oh well, better late then never...
"my temperature is burnin' hot"
The song gets better after a few listens, del is using his old 'go off beat and come back on purpose', combined with some double-timing, and the effort is far from worthless. The beat, produced by del, is a simple yet elegant little bit of bleepy funk that takes a bit of percolation to really enjoy...
"I see Def Jux out there doing their thing, I think we can help each other build new audiences. Im looking forward to working with El-P and Def Jux on future projects as well."
It will be nice to hear some of these future projects, the way del worked wonders over automator's 3030 beats but this time over El-P's blade runner meets bomb squad sound holds promise. Also maybe this will result in some more action for the rest of the hiero crew, most importantly to me that means more PepLove joints available as his oft delayed album collects dust...
It also seems to me that this is DefJux's first foray into signing a west coast artist (aesop's move to san fran. not withstanding), and hopefully both crews's extended families get a little lovelier for it... (yak ballz, cool calm pete, domino, tajai feat. goapple posse cut anyone?)
