Can't ever hate on these 45's from Truth & Soul, man. You can tell their obsession for keeping it classic from the very first spin. Sounds to me like some classic old latin funk, but it's not. Instead it's from BRP's trip to Puerto Rico in 2006, where they collaborated with musicians that graced the stage with legends like the Fania All-Stars and Paul Rodriguez. As you would expect from mixing the pros with the legends, the results are nothing but purely soulful. You got Zoe Velez laying down the dimly lit vocals(in Spanish) on "Me Toca(1)" and the killer conga and Timbale solos on the "Agua Con Sal(2)" all for less than what I paid for lunch. Plus, a little bit of soul is good for ya'. Even I can't listen to hype shit all the time.
