Authors: Lalo Schifrin; Big Daddy Kane. Photographers: Robin Laananen; Dan Ubick. Musicians, arrangers, and producers Dan Ubick and Todd Simon, who go by the unlikely name Connie Price & the Keystones, make warm, artfully layered hip-hop with an organic sound that draws equally on vintage 1970s funk and the postmodern collage aesthetic. TELL ME SOMETHING is both heady and rootsy: guest rappers like Big Daddy Kane, Percee P, and Ohmega Watts lay down intelligent, on-point rhymes while Ubick and Simon provide horns, guitars, and other live instrumentation, as well as more general atmospheric sound-painting. The result is groovy, surprising, and eminently listenable.
