WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
DAVY D ‘Davy’s Ride’ LP (Def Jam 450481 1)
Kurtis Blow’s onetime scratch DJ, Davy DMX actually sings soulfully between scratches on the great piano rolled jogging 96¼bpm ‘Feel For You’ and attractive mellow swaying 99bpm ‘Ohh Girl’, but gets other vocal and rap support on the girls-pleaded strong juddery scratching (0-)104⅓bpm title track, JB-cutting fascinating quavery 97⅔bpm scratch ‘n rap ‘Keep Your Distance’, Chuck Brown-based (although uncredited) 97¾bpm ‘Bustin’ Loose/Your Love Is Like Money In The Bank’, trickily garbled then ticking 94¾bpm ‘Live On Hollis Day’, Timex Social Club-type 99bpm ‘Do Ya Do’, Russell Simmons-led in-joking 100bpm ‘Bring It’, bongo tapping short 99½bpm ‘Let’s Rock’, angrily rapped 90bpm ‘Get Busy’, girls chanted jerky 102½bpm ‘Have You Seen Davy’.
