Comprised of the Crown City Rockers‘ rhythm section and sit-ins from members of the Broun Fellinis, Soulive, and more, this funk-hop hybrid feels like a Madlib fever dream come to life. Sure, it may have more jazz than hip-hop, but where do you think DJ Premier got all those dope-ass beats? Like a mindmeld between Hancock‘s Head Hunters and Alphabet Soup, Plate Fork Knife Spoon builds instrumental jams worth rocking. Whether it‘s the Yesterday‘s New Quintet-ish “Turbulencia” or the breakbeat-happy homage to Do the Right Thing‘s “D M#$%er F#$%er D,” PFKS‘s debut is cash in the kitchen drawer.
