The seventh album from producer Geoff Wilkinson's hip-hop-jazz crew Us3 sees the introduction of 2 new young MCs hot off the streets of New York. Underground hip-hop fans should already know the name of 23 year-old Sene, and spoken word aficionados will certainly be aware of 20 year-old Brook Yung. "These two cats are the youngest MCs I've featured on an Us3 album since Hand on the Torch", says Geoff, "and it's definitely upped the hip-hop quotient on this album". With sounds ranging from the straight-up beatbox track You Already Know & the crunk-influenced Turn It Up, to the lush piano & shuffling drums of The Love Of My Life & the tense urban paranoia of Gotta Get Out Of Here, Us3 paint a wide picture of sounds. A strong latin influence is prevalent in the vibes led party track Can I Get It?, the seductive horns of I Let 'Em Know and the grooving wurlitzer bossa dance of She's With Me. The tricky time signature changes in Who Got Next? have Sene effortlessly wrapping his twisting lyrical wordplay around a funky 4/4/3/4 groove. Collaborators from the jazz side include the familiar notable faces of Ed Jones (sax), Bryan Corbett (trumpet), Chris Storr (trumpet), and John Crawford (piano), while top turntablist DJ First Rate scratches up a storm. The 8-piece Us3 live band will be supporting the release with a 21 date European club tour in April, with appearances at festivals throughout summer. www.Us3.com www.myspace.com/Us3music
