WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
THE B BOYS: ‘Cuttin’ Herbie’ (US Vintertainment VTI-002)
Following their inventive ‘Two Three Break’ with two more cool cuts (both on both sides of the 12in), scratcher Chuck Chill-Out and rapper Donald D really cut up ‘Rockit’ to dynamite effect on this 112bpm hip hop that outdoes Grandmixer D.ST. for skill and thrills — although he sandwiches nicely between this and their MC poppin’ 116bpm ‘Rock The House‘, which is less dense. Amazingly, the label’s printed BPMs are spot on accurate —almost a first. These guys mean biz-ness!
