Description
Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band follow up their 2021 “Expansions” album with another solid 7” offering. The A side, “Represent,” is one of the stand-out tracks from Expansions. BRSB cover the DJ Premier-produced Nas classic taking the original and expanding the arrangement with guitar and brass riffs. Tuba chugs along the drum break while the steel pans hammer out the infamously infectious melody of the original sample making this an easy winner in Hip Hop circles and beyond.
The B side is a non-album cut available on this 45 for the first time ever. Bacao covers the Mtume classic “Juicy Fruit” made popular again when The Notorious B.I.G. sampled it for his smash hit “Juicy.” This is a sure head-turner when people realize they are dancing along to a new version of the classic melody.
A: Represent
B: Juicy Fruit
