I thought there was something familiar about "I Will Not Apologize" from the new The Roots album Rising Down. And then I had it: it reminded me of Camp Lo. These guest spots by Porn and Dice Raw have that staccato, machine-gun-in-slo-mo rhythmic approach that I love so much about Camp Lo's Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede. Camp Lo's Uptown Saturday Night is one of the few rap albums I will listen to all the way through. It's got a timeless sound and doesn't sound today at all like a 11-year-old urban record. They have a unique delivery style where they go on and off the beat, rapping straight on the high-hats but lazy at the same time. It's super musical and just interesting to me, as a drummer.
Wiki says Camp Lo signed to Universal this year and are putting a new record out with a name alteration to just The Lo.
