Selection of rhythms extracted by Cookin Soul, 19 instrumental tracks, each one doesn't exceed two minutes for a total of just under half an hour of listening. However, it looks like a rather lazy and uninspired selection, unlike the usual beatmaker tapes.
Most of the productions are simple, boom bap skeletal with good musical and melodic samples and a light skinny drum machine. There are a couple of instrumental songs that deserve a mention, without ending up among the best tracks: in "Piska Ku Funchi", Cookin Soul creates a minimal rhythm by placing a hard and heavy drum with a few elegant piano keys in the background to create a decent contrast, while in "Jan Thiel Penthouse Chops" he plays with his sampler.
Highlights: "Bon Bini": opening cut, very slow and light drum, relaxing beat. "Bon Siman": skit, then boom bap, light syncopated skinny drum machine, cornet sample, piano keys looped in the background. "Biba Lekker": boom bap, perfect drum, splendid melodic sample. "Kenepa Beach": up until this point, I didn't think there were two consecutive good rhythms; trumpet samples, lean syncopated drum, light percussion; some extravagant background sound that, don't ask me how, gives value to the instrumental. "Punda Vibes": soulful vibes, beautiful female sample, regular skinny drum machine, strings in the background. "Trupial Colors": light boom bap, sluggish slow syncopated drum machine, sad dark piano samples; Marlow Digs is credited as a guest being involved in the production. "Bon Nochi Kòrsou": skeletal boom bap, slow and lean drum, light samples, relaxing vibes.
Rating: 6.5/10.
